This Murano ashtray or bowl from the 1960s/70s is a distinctive example of Italian decorative glass crafted using the sommerso technique. The deep cobalt blue color, seamlessly encased in a thick, clear outer layer, emphasizes the depth and luminosity of the piece. Organic, free-form lines and an asymmetrical, almost petal-like silhouette with three pronounced lobes and integrated notches define it as an object characteristic of the mid-century modern era. The surface is perfectly smooth and highly reflective, while the wide, shallow basin and thick, rounded edges signal the quality of its craftsmanship. The glass is heavy and substantial, with a barely visible original label on the base confirming its authenticity. Condition: very good, with no visible chips, cracks, or damage.
This bowl tells the story of mid-20th-century Italian modernism: the saturated blue, shifting to subtle turquoise at the edges, evokes the depths of the Venetian lagoon. Light reflections glide across the polished surface, bringing a tranquil rhythm to the interior—suggesting a time when functional art was meant to inspire the imagination. The organic form and bold color make this piece not only an ashtray but a small sculptural accent that speaks in the language of vintage Italian design.
