A striking mid-century Murano glass ashtray in the celebrated Sommerso technique — vibrant yellow encased in layers of clear and blue glass, creating extraordinary depth and luminosity. The ruffled, organic form is hand shaped, giving each undulation its own character and movement. Sommerso, meaning "submerged" in Italian, is one of Murano's most technically demanding processes — multiple layers of colored glass fused together by master glassblowers to create this striking visual depth.
At 8" this piece commands attention as a sculptural object as much as a functional ashtray — equally beautiful displayed on a coffee table, console, or bookshelf. The bold yellow and blue palette brings vibrant energy and authentic mid-century Italian design history into any interior.
