Natural Malachite Dish Bowl or Ashtray

Sculptural Murano glass centerpiece with IVR Mazzega label. The origins of Vetreria Mazzega date back to 1929, when Romano Mazzega established a small company in Murano that bore his name.

At the same time it welcomes independent designers, such as Luigi Scarpa Croce...
