Riedel Mesa, Claus Josef Riedel, Mesa
Claus Josef Riedel (1925–2004) was an Austrian glassmaker and the ninth-generation head of the Riedel family company. From the late 1950s he developed thin, undecorated stemware whose shape was designed to influence the aroma and taste of particular wines. His Burgundy Grand Cru glass received a gold medal at Expo 58 and entered the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
Riedel x Mesa Design Large Black Centerpiece Glass Bowl, Post-Modern Italy, 1980
Worldwide shipping.
€693
A straight and large, 14 inches diameter postmodern centerpiece glass bowl from the 1980s. Crafted from deep black glass, this bowl stands out with its reduced, elegant design, featuring a high-gloss interior and a matte exterior. It is part of the Riedel Mesa Collection, created through the collaboration between Claus Joseph Riedel (Austria) and Mesa Design (Italy) from 1986 to 1996. The bowl is very solid and in good condition with only minor signs of wear, like a few unavoidable fine scratches and light aging on its exterior . It is marked "Riedel" on the underside. This piece is not only highly decorative—ideal for display on a shelf or in a cabinet—but also makes an excellent fruit bowl. We currently offer more pieces from the Riedel Mesa Collection in our other listings. Mesa, founded in the 1980s, is a producer of handmade luxury home accessories. They collaborated with renowned designers such as Gio Ponti, Cetti Serbelloni and Bruno Munari.
