The Special Bowl from IVV features transparent pressed glass with an irregularly patterned surface across its exterior, producing a texture that is particularly shiny and tactilely engaging. The pattern creates dimensional depth across the bowl's outer surface, giving it a presence that plain glass lacks. Italian pressed-glass craftsmanship informs the production, and the piece functions equally as a serving vessel and a decorative object, with the surface treatment catching light differently at different angles and in different settings.
