An elegant Murano glass ashtray or trinket dish made by Seguso Murano in Italy around 1960. This solid glass piece captivates with its organic and asymmetrical silhouette, emblematic of post-war Italian design. Its substantial weight lends it a sculptural presence that far transcends its utilitarian function. Crafted using the traditional Sommerso technique, this model features a deep ruby red resting on a base with subtle pinkish-purple reflections, enhanced by a discreet yellow inclusion visible within the glass. The quality of the workmanship, the generous thickness, and the fluid curves testify to the expertise of the Seguso workshops. ________________________________________ Technical Details • Designer: Model attributed to the Seguso workshops • Manufacturer: Seguso Murano, Murano, Italy • Period: circa 1960 • Materials: solid blown Murano glass, Sommerso technique • Finish: polished glass ________________________________________ Dimensions • Height: 6 cm (2.36 in) • Diameter: 12 cm (4.72 in) • Weight: 0.9 kg ________________________________________ Condition: Very good vintage condition.
