Manchado Bowl

A generous hand-blown art glass vessel, the Manchado Bowl commands presence through its sculptural breadth — eighteen inches across — and the quiet authority of an antique silver finish that reads less as color than as memory. The irregularities inherent to the hand-blown process are precisely the point, lending each piece a singular character that no mechanical reproduction could approximate. At six and a half inches in height, the form is deliberately low and expansive, the proportions of a shallow basin elevated to something ceremonial.
