ABOUT PRODUCTID 8441
The Mandruzzato ashtray, designed by Flavio Poli in the 1950s, exemplifies Italian Murano glass crafted using the sommerso technique. Its substantial, sculptural form is defined by sharply faceted, irregular geometric planes. At its core, an intense ruby-pink layer is encased in transparent glass that transitions through golden yellow to pale blue, creating bold optical effects and a dynamic color gradient. The entire surface has a high-gloss, polished finish, enhancing the play of light and highlighting the collectible nature of the object. The thick, heavy glass underlines its artisanal quality, while the precise hand-cut facets lend it a jewel-like aspect. There are no visible signs of wear, chips, or restoration, indicating a very good state of preservation.This piece seems to convey the spirit of its era—a time when Italian glassmakers pushed the boundaries of traditional craft through color and form experimentation. The ashtray’s geometric, faceted design evokes the mid-century modern movement: bold chromatic choices meet refined craftsmanship in every hand-polished edge. The interaction of light across its layered surfaces echoes the shimmering sunlight of the Venetian lagoon, with each turn revealing a fresh prismatic pattern—as if the object engages in a dialogue with both its surroundings and its time.The ashtray would serve as a statement accent in a modern living room, placed on a marble coffee table or a low sideboard.
