Tray - Murano - Flavio Poli for Seguso - Aquamarine blue - 60

Exceptional sculptural ashtray in Murano crystal, created by the famous designer Flavio Poli for the Seguso Vetri d'Arte factory (Italy, 1960s). This authentic vintage marvel perfectly illustrates the genius of Mid-Century organic and biomorphic design. Hand-shaped, the incandescent material has been masterfully stretched hot to form a corolla with four fluid and supple lobes. The object expresses the pure beauty of solid crystal with absolute clarity, typical of the finest Venetian glassworks. Its aquamarine blue hue divinely captures the light. Only the base has undergone rigorous cold grinding, erasing the pontil mark to provide a perfectly flat base, irrefutable proof of its high-quality craftsmanship. With remarkable density at nearly one kilogram of crystal, this bowl is a true luminous sculpture. Impeccable condition, brilliant shine, no chips, tiny signs of use under the base as a testament to its authenticity. Dimensions: L 16 cm (diagonal 19 cm) x H 6.5 cm. Weight: 968 g. The packaging will be extremely careful: the piece will be overprotected with double cardboard and reinforced cushioning to ensure safe delivery.
