A striking mid-century Murano glass ashtray, handblown in vibrant ruby red with subtle undertones of amber and turquoise along the rim. Its organic, freeform shape is both functional and decorative, embodying the fluid artistry that Murano glassmakers are renowned for.
Crafted on the Venetian island of Murano, Italy, this piece reflects the traditional Sommerso technique, where layers of contrasting glass colours are encased to create depth and radiance. The heart-like contours and smooth curves catch and reflect light beautifully, making it a standout accent whether displayed as a centerpiece, used as a catchall, or kept in its original purpose as an ashtray.
