Elegant ashtray or catch-all dish in Murano glass, made by Seguso Murano in Italy around the 1960s. This solid glass piece captivates with its organic and asymmetrical silhouette, emblematic of post-war Italian design. Its considerable weight gives it a sculptural presence that far surpasses its utilitarian function.
Crafted using the traditional Sommerso technique, this model features a deep ruby red resting on a base with subtle violet-pink reflections, enhanced by a discreet yellow inclusion visible within the glass. The quality of manufacturing, generous thickness, and fluid curves attest to the expertise of Seguso workshops.
