This is a tiny cased (sommerso) Kastanja (chestnut) glass bowl designed by Kaj Frank for Nuutärjarvi of Finland and dating from 1957 (it was in production from 1952-1969).
The bowl is in excellent condition for its age. This means, of course, that it shows some age related wear and tear to the rim of the base consistent with use.
The bowl has been blown in clear glass over black glass and is roughly the shape of a chestnut when viewed from above, and from which it takes its name. The bowl measures 5.7 cm (2.3 inches) in diameter at its widest point and measures 2 cm (1.8 inches) in height. There are no chips, cracks, significant scratches or any evidence of restoration. The bowl is signed “Kaj Franck Nuutärjarvi Notsjö 1-57”.
The bowl weighs in at 70 g. (~ 2 1/2 oz.).
