1950s Murano Glass Ashtray

1950s Murano Glass Ashtray
Through constant experimentation, Murano’s glass guild evolved a series of innovative techniques such as sommerso. The method requires an authentic knowledge of color combinations, as well as a high level of dexterity in blowing and layering. To achieve the beautiful results of this ashtray, the piece is submerged in clear molten glass of different tones, producing a layered, chromatic effect. Set it down on a pale surface and let it cast a vibrant shadow as light hits. Please note, this item is a truly original vintage piece with slight imperfections and distinctive characteristics that add to its charm and celebrate its unique history.
