Murano Glass Ashtray, Sommerso Bullicante Glass

Description

This ashtray is a small compendium of glassmaking techniques: it combines "Sommerso" (layers of glass placed one on top of the other) with "Bullicante" (bubbles). It's a highly textured and visually profound piece, reminiscent of water.

Title: Ocean Depths: Submerged and Bullicante Murano Ashtray

A dive into the deepest blue. This vintage ashtray from the 1970s is not just a functional object, but a magnificent example of Venetian technical virtuosity. It combines two of the island's most fascinating techniques: Sommerso , which creates overlapping layers of color, lending a three-dimensional depth, and Bullicante , famous for the myriad of "controlled" air bubbles trapped forever in the glass mass.

The sinuous, organic, almost liquid shape enhances the intense blue of the core, while the bubbles capture the light, making the surface vibrant and never static. It's like looking at a fragment of crystallized sea.

A robust and sculptural piece of Italian design , capable of adapting effortlessly to both classic furnishings and a modern or minimalist context, where it can act as a magnetic point of color on a coffee table or desk.
