Murano Ashtray - Archimede Seguso - Bullicante - Red Blue Sommerso

Spectacular sculptural glass catchall from Murano, a true icon of Mid-Century design (1950s-1960s). This exceptional piece by the legendary master glassmaker Archimede Seguso, renowned for his creative boldness and absolute mastery of Italian art glass. Of museum-quality craftsmanship, this work fascinates with the combination of two complex Venetian techniques. The Bullicante, forming a net of perfectly regular bubbles trapped in the crystal, is paired with the Sommerso, revealing a heart of incandescent ruby red resting on a deep cobalt blue base. The whole is enveloped in clear crystal, with six organic lobes, hot-stretched with tongs, forming a sumptuous corolla. Its base, perfectly ground and polished flat, attests to exceptional craftsmanship. Ideal as a centrepiece or prestigious ashtray, this luminous sculpture adds an irresistible touch of colour and elegance to your interior. Condition: Excellent condition, mirror shine, no cloudiness.
