Bowl c. 1905

This clear glass bowl, designed by Austrian artist Otto Prutscher around 1905, showcases the geometric aesthetic of the Art Nouveau movement. The bowl is adorned with a striking blue geometric pattern, consisting of radiating lines emanating from the center and a grid-like design around the rim, highlighting the influence of both traditional and modern design trends. The bowl's simple form and bold geometric pattern are characteristic of Prutscher's work, which blended functionality with artistic expression. This piece, housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, serves as an exemplary example of Prutscher's contribution to the world of Art Nouveau glass design.
