Red Lepidoptera Footed 16' Capri Bowl

One of Lesley Roy's most iconic Signature Forms—and one of the most enduring entertaining pieces in the collection.

Mouth-blown glass rises on a substantial footed base to create a magnificent 16-inch presentation bowl, transformed here in the warm botanical palette of Red Lepidoptera with richly hand-applied gold and silver leaf.

But the beauty of the Capri Bowl has always been what happens after you fill it.

This is a foundational entertaining piece—designed to create height, abundance, and drama on a table. Fill it generously with fresh fruit. Heap it with shrimp over ice. Nestle a coupe of cocktail sauce into the center. Build an overflowing landscape of cheeses, charcuterie, pastries, or seasonal desserts.

Everything placed within it suddenly feels more abundant, more celebratory, and more inviting.

And when the gathering is over?

Don't put it away.

Place it where you'll enjoy it every day—on a kitchen island, dining table, or entry console. Filled with fresh fruit, seasonal flowers, or simply admired on its own, the Capri Bowl was designed to become part of daily life, not something reserved for special occasions.

One longtime collector once shared that after a long day, it was always the first thing she saw when she walked through the door. It reminded her that beauty has a place in everyday living.

Beautiful enough to be sculpture.
Useful enough to anchor the party.

Only four Red Lepidoptera Capri Bowls were ever created. Never exhibited. Never offered through retail. Released for the first time from the Lesley Roy Archive.
