Ashtray - Glass - Rare, submerged glass.

Green and amber submerged glass ashtray / money bowl – sculptural elegance in a Murano-taste aesthetic A decoratively strong object, where color, transparency and volume meet in a soft, enveloping form. This ashtray in thick multicolored glass features a rounded triangular profile, almost trilobed, with a wide central cavity and three delicate indented notches on the rim. A shape that also lends itself to use as a catch-all, jewelry box, or small decorative cup, to be showcased on a console, desk, or coffee table. Its most evocative element is the chromatic pairing: an intense, deep green framed by amber and honey tones and a transparent edge that catches the light. The glass layers create a depth effect reminiscent of the submerged technique, making the color appear almost suspended within the material. The curved surface and generous thickness produce variable reflections: viewed from above it reveals the pattern of the different layers, while from the side it takes on the appearance of a small glass sculpture. The aesthetic recalls the taste of Murano artistic glass from the mid-20th century and the language of Mid-Century design. A creative universe in which masters such as Flavio Poli, famous for submerged pieces made with Seguso Vetri d’Arte, and Carlo Scarpa, a central figure in glass experimentation at Venini, stand out. These references describe the stylistic and technical context: the piece is not attributed to these authors or manufactories. In the photographs no signatures or labels are visible; author, furnace and Murano provenance are not documented. Shows superficial marks and scratches, mainly on the supporting base and in some photographed details. Retains a lovely luminosity and a notable chromatic impact. Close-up photographs allow you to appreciate both its characteristics and its condition. Indicative dimensions: 16 × 16 cm, height 8 cm. A retro-chic accessory, suitable for those who love colored glass, organic shapes and objects that give personality to a space. Also a refined Christmas gift idea for decoration and design enthusiasts.
