This stunning trio of art glass pieces offers a captivating blend of contemporary studio artistry and classic Venetian elegance. Included are two signed works by Simon Bisley, known for his sculptural glass forms that combine fluid motion with vibrant swirled color palettes - one in dramatic black, white, and crimson, and the other in rich blue, purple, and pink tones. Both bowls feature a unique square-rounded silhouette with dynamic swirling patterns and are signed to the base. Complementing the pair is a golden-hued Murano-style compote with controlled bubble decoration and aventurine sparkle, exuding timeless sophistication. Whether displayed together or individually, these pieces offer collectors and decorators a remarkable mix of modern and traditional glass artistry. A minor chip to the foot of the compote is noted; otherwise, all pieces are in excellent condition.
Striking Signed Simon Bisley Swirled Art Glass Bowl in Black, White, and Crimson - 1990s Studio Glass
Offered here is a dramatic, hand-blown art glass bowl by Simon Bisley, signed to the base, and showcasing the artist’s mastery of modern glass form. This freeform studio glass piece features a bold whirl of black, white, and crimson that spirals inward from the squared edges to the deep central well. Each of the four corners tapers to a rounded point, creating a sculptural, almost wind-blown shape. The luminous swirl pattern captures the motion of molten glass in frozen form, with contrasting opaque and translucent hues layered to stunning effect. In excellent condition with no chips or cracks, and signed “S. BISLEY” to the base. Measures approximately 8.5 inches across at its widest and 2.25 inches high.
Sculptural Blue and Purple Swirled Studio Art Glass Bowl by Simon Bisley - Signed Collector’s Piece
A mesmerizing signed art glass bowl by Simon Bisley, executed in radiant tones of blue, purple, and soft pink. The flattened organic form is similar in style to Piece 1, with softly squared edges and elegant curvature throughout. Viewed from above, the coloration spirals with gentle gradation, creating a hypnotic effect reminiscent of oceanic movement or celestial orbits. This hand-formed glasswork demonstrates Bisley's refined color blending and modernist sensibility. Signed to the base “S. BISLEY” and in excellent condition, free of chips or damage. Measures approximately 8.5 inches wide and 2.25 inches high.
Elegant Murano-Style Venetian Art Glass Compote with Gold Aventurine Controlled Bubbles
This refined Venetian-style art glass compote features a clear bowl and foot infused with controlled bubbles and gold aventurine inclusions. The wide shallow bowl gracefully flares outward, resting atop a finely formed baluster stem and broad circular base. Likely produced in Murano or in the tradition of mid-20th century Italian decorative glass, the piece is both delicate and opulent. There is one visible chip to the underside of the foot, as shown, but it remains structurally sound and visually striking. The piece stands approximately 11 inches tall with a bowl diameter of 9 inches. A perfect addition to any Murano or decorative glass collection.
