Gorgeous Mosaic Bowl – One-of-a-Kind Upcycled Art

Originally a vintage sponge-painted bowl, this piece caught my eye in a secondhand store. Pretty as it was, I saw its true potential as a unique mosaic artwork. After its creative facelift, it now weighs a substantial 3 lbs 5 oz and is ready to shine as a decorative centerpiece.

The mosaic design inside the bowl features a mix of beautiful stained glass in shades of blue, beige and blue-green glass tiles, medium tan and blue glass gems, and blue Smalti — richly colored, traditional mosaic tesserae once used in Byzantine art. The metal oxides in Smalti create stunning depth and variation in color, making each piece truly unique.
