Bowl

16th-17th century
Not on view
As they spread throughout Early Modern Europe, Venice’s glassmaking techniques transformed ordinary tableware into a tantalizing variety of sophisticated and textured forms. Made in Spain, this “ice glass” bowl has a cracked surface created through a Venetian method of plunging the hot glass into cold water before blowing it into its final form.
