Red Sommerso Murano glass ashtray and pocket tray Seguso Murano 1960

Elegant ashtray or pocket tray made of Murano glass by Seguso Murano in Italy around the 1960s. This piece of solid glass captivates with its organic and asymmetrical silhouette, emblematic of post-war Italian design. Its significant weight gives it a sculptural presence that far exceeds its utilitarian function. Crafted using the traditional Sommerso technique, this model features a deep ruby red resting on a base with subtle violet-pink reflections, enhanced by a discreet yellow inclusion visible within the glass mass. The quality of craftsmanship, generous thicknesses, and fluid curves testify to the expertise of the Seguso workshops. ________________________________________ Technical details. • Designer: Model attributed to the Seguso workshops. • Manufacturer: Seguso Murano, Murano, Italy. • Period: circa 1960. • Materials: blown solid Murano glass, Sommerso technique. • Finish: polished glass. ________________________________________ Dimensions. • Height: 6 cm (2.36 in) • Diameter: 12 cm (4.72 in) • Weight: 0.9 kg. ________________________________________ Condition.
