This is a great hand blown piece. The glass is beautiful cobalt, with gold streamers swirling around the bowl. We also have a ruby red version of this bowl by the same glass blower. This would be a great serving bowl, or you could also use it as a wide vase, perhaps with a “frog” in the middle. It has only been used for display. It has no nicks, chips or cracks. There is evidence of the pontil on the base.
