This Murano ashtray or vide poche, designed by Flavio Poli for Seguso in the 1960s and 1970s, exemplifies Italian glass artistry that marries precision craftsmanship with refined technique. The piece is rendered in a cool, smoky grey with a subtle greenish hue, achieved through the sommerso method—a hallmark of Venetian glassmaking—where colored glass is submerged within a thick, transparent layer. Its sharp, faceted edges and perfect symmetry highlight the object’s geometric purity, while the highly polished, almost mirror-like surface creates dynamic, multi-layered light reflections.
