Vintage Italian Ashtray, Massive "Uranium" Murano Glass, Yellow and Green Hues
About the Item
For how magical it might seem at first glance, Murano glass is mostly a matter of chemistry. Color is obtained through the reaction of specific elements which, added to the glass fuse and heated to a certain temperature, will produce the bright hues found on Murano glass objects.
This green/yellowish tones, which are usually found on Sommerso pieces from the Seventies, were the product of a heated part of uranium. While this might seem dangerous at first, there is absolutely no Hazard to health: the use of uranium in the production of glass and ceramic is rather common and has been for decades.
The present piece is a triangular ashtray (or bowl) measuring around preserved in great conditions; it only shows the light, expectable signs of time for a piece almost 50 years old.

Vintage Fluid and Massive Murano Sculpture in "Sommerso" Clear and Green Glass
Located in Milano, IT
Very big and heavy Murano vase in "Sommerso" glass. The peculiar technique, translating to "submerged", consists in joining two layers of different colours glass, so that one looks to be absorbed by the other. In this case, the two colours are green for the core and clear/crystal for the outer layer.
The piece is fluid, and is an abstract sculpture in its own right beside being an actual vase. It is preserved in very good original conditions, with minor scratches/hairlines and the expectable patina of a four decades old object...
