Murano Faceted Triangular Red Sommerso Ashtray Attributed to Flavio Poli c. 1970

About the Item

A Murano glass ashtray attributed to Flavio Poli for Seguso, handcrafted in Italy during the 1970s. Produced using the sommerso ("submerged") technique, layers of vibrant red and soft sky blue glass are encased within clear Murano crystal, creating striking internal colour depth. The piece is meticulously formed into a sharply faceted triangular shape, with each of the three points channelled to hold a cigarette. The sharply polished 45-degree angles of the base resemble a finely cut gemstone, with each facet catching light and emphasizing the bold interplay of colour within the glass. Measuring 10 cm deep, 12 cm wide, and 8 cm tall, the ashtray remains in good vintage condition. Minor chips and light surface scratches are present on the faceted edges and base, consistent with its age and delicate form. A refined example of mid-century Murano craftsmanship, showcasing Flavio Poli’s mastery of colour layering and cold working.

Murano Red & Gold Leaf Scallop Dish, Attributed to Archimede Seguso, 1950s
By Archimede Seguso
Located in Glasgow, GB
A decorative Murano glass dish, attributed to Murano glass maestro Archimede Seguso. Handcrafted in Italy in the 1950s, this elegant dish takes the form of a scallop shell, with its bottom edges pinched inward to create the distinctive shape. Made from vibrant red Murano glass and seamlessly fused with a sheet of gold leaf—a signature technique in mid-century Murano glass design—this combination results in a rich, organic pattern. During the firing process, the stretching and forming of the molten glass produce a concentric pattern of gold flakes that radiate outward, echoing the delicate textures found in a natural scallop shell. Measuring 11 cm in width and length, with a height of 3.5 cm, this vintage Murano...
