Large Decorative Molded Glass Bowl – Ernest Léveillé

Large decorative molded glass bowl, created by Ernest Léveillé, a testament to the high level of French artistic glassmaking from the late 19th to early 20th century. This piece is entirely handmade, revealing the technical mastery and sensitivity of a leading workshop. The glass features a decorative frosted texture within the glass itself, perceptible to the touch, creating a deep and nuanced material effect reminiscent of natural frost or ice. The material is enriched with colored inclusions in burgundy, white, and red, fused into the glass using a complex technique characteristic of Ernest Léveillé's work. The upper rim is enhanced with hand-applied and modeled raised gilding, used as a decorative accent. The piece rests on four gilded feet, emphasizing its presence and balance. Its remarkable dimensions make this bowl a true collector's item. Dimensions: 31 × 21 × 15 cm
