John Dana

Artist, American, active c. 1935

The image depicts a glass bowl with a diamond-cut pattern on its surface. The color palette consists of turquoise and clear glass with light reflecting off its facets. The bowl is centrally positioned against a plain, off-white background that emphasizes the glassware's design. The bowl's top rim is oval-shaped, and the base slightly narrows, reinforcing its circular form.
