Documented to the Fratelli Toso Company, circa 1956. The bowl has a scalloped flared out rim. The ribbons have glittery copper aventurine flecks over white, on the opposite side of the pink color. Has hints of blue on dark backgrounds and orange from the "fiery" opal glass when direct sunlight hits it. You can really see this in the shadow of the bowl. Would make a great display piece on any console table, dresser or coffee table. Use it as a catchall, or candy dish. Mid-century era. Measures: 8" across x 4 3/4" high.

The design, in vase form (which I previously owned with original label), is published in the Fratelli Toso book. I have added a photo of the archive drawing from the book (see last photo).
