ABOUT PRODUCTID 31704
This faceted Murano glass ashtray, crafted using the Sommerso technique in the 1960s in Italy, features a sculptural, geometric form. The glass showcases a vibrant, cool emerald green core encased in a clear outer layer, creating a distinctive sense of depth and contrast characteristic of the Sommerso method. Its multifaceted, sharply cut edges and compact silhouette, with a broad base tapering towards the top, reflect mid-century modern aesthetics. The finish is highly glossy and polished, with no additional decorative elements. The thick, heavy glass and crisp facets underscore the craftsmanship for which Murano is renowned. The overall condition is very good, with only minor micro-chips on some edges, typical for gentle vintage use; there are no signs of restoration or permanent damage.The ashtray seems to recount the story of Italian modernism: its facets capture light like the shores of the Venetian lagoon, while the deep green evokes the coolness of Murano glass that graced European interiors in the 1960s and 1970s. Its sculptural form, confident and striking, speaks of an era when glass became functional art rather than mere accessory. Every cut echoes the mastery of Murano’s artisans—a piece that carries the pulse of its time, ready to reflect new scenes of everyday life.This ashtray could be paired with a minimalist wood or metal console, where the green glass would bring out the depth of surrounding neutral tones. It would serve well as a standalone accent on
