About the Item

A sculptural and highly collectible mid-century Murano glass ashtray or decorative bowl, attributed to Seguso Vetri d’Arte, Italy, dating to the 1950s. This beautifully hand-blown piece showcases a rich cobalt blue interior encased within thick, clear glass infused with delicate bullicante (controlled bubble) technique, creating a luminous field of suspended bubbles throughout. The outer layer reveals subtle amber-gold iridescence, giving the piece a dynamic interplay of color that shifts with the light. The form is distinctly organic and freeform, with a soft, biomorphic silhouette typical of Italian modernist glass design. The thick, rounded rim and deeply recessed center enhance both its sculptural presence and functional use as an ashtray or catchall. A striking example of Murano craftsmanship, this piece embodies the elegance, innovation, and technical mastery associated with Seguso’s work during the mid-20th century.
