A vibrant and highly sculptural Murano-style art glass ashtray dating to the 1960s–70s, featuring an expressive freeform silhouette in richly layered ruby red, amber and aqua blue tones. Thick folded clear glass edges frame the organic form, creating dramatic depth, light refraction and fluid movement from every angle.
The sweeping biomorphic shape reflects the influence of mid-century Italian art glass design, where functional objects were elevated into expressive decorative sculpture. Heavy in weight and visually striking, the piece functions equally well as an ashtray, catchall or standalone centrepiece object.
Its bold colour palette and fluid hand-formed construction make it particularly suited to modernist, space-age and eclectic interiors, while the exaggerated folded rim and sommerso-style colour transitions evoke the glamorous decorative glass production associated with Murano workshops of the era.
A striking vintage display object with strong decorative presence.
In excellent vintage condition - no visible damage.
Dimensions: 170mm x 170mm x 80mm
