Product description
A sculptural Murano ashtray, or vide poche, made of heavy, solid glass, crafted in Italy in the 1950s/60s. The square base is softened by gently curved, upturned corners, giving the object its characteristic mid-century silhouette. Inside lies an intensely yellow-green uranium glass core, encased in clear glass, lending the piece exceptional optical depth. Under UV light, the uranium glass exhibits its typical luminous green fluorescence. The substantial wall thickness and organic design make the piece particularly striking as an ashtray, vide poche, small bowl, or decorative glass object. DETAILS Origin: Murano, Italy Date: 1950s/60s Material: Murano glass / Uranium glass Technique: Sommerso Color: Yellow-green / Clear Height: approx. 7 cm Dimensions: approx. 14 × 14 cm Style: Mid-Century Modern CONDITION Good vintage condition with slight surface marks consistent with age and use. No noticeable chips or cracks are visible. Please refer to the photos as part of the condition description.
