#0302 Neodynium art glass bowl with purple to blue variations

6” x 2” No chips or cracks Neodymium glass is a type of glass that exhibits a strong color change depending on the light source, shifting between shades of purple and blue. This effect is due to the presence of neodymium oxide, a rare-earth element, which absorbs and transmits light in a unique way. The glass was developed in the mid-20th century and has been used by various glassmakers for decorative art objects.

While often mistaken for Murano glass due to its striking color transitions, pieces made with neodymium glass are distinct. These items are appreciated for their unique optical properties and the aesthetic appeal of their color-shifting nature, making them interesting additions to a collection.
