1970s Italian Ashtray Bowl in Murano Sommerso Grey, Black and Clear Glass

About the Item

A beautiful decorative piece perfect for a glass display case or shelf where the light can shine through it. This Vintage Ashtrays was made in Italy between the 1960s and the 1970s by Venetian artisans using the "Sommerso" glass technique. The Sommerso (Italian for "submerged") is the Murano glassmaking technique of creating two or more layers of contrasting glass without the colours mixing together. It is formed by dipping coloured glass into molten glass of a different colour, before blowing the glass into the required form. This item has been cut and polished with a beautiful dark grey inner design encased in clear glass. It can be used as a pure decorative element or as an ashtray, the important thing is that it is placed near light sources that accentuate its splendid coloring and workmanship.

Midcentury Travertine Ashtray in the Style of Fratelli Mannelli, Italy, 1970s
By Fratelli Mannelli
Located in Roma, IT
Sculptural Ashtray attributable to the historic company Fratelli Mannelli, specialized in the processing of travertine. Known for its collaboration with the designer Enzo Mari, who designed a series of stylized travertine animals, this Manifcaturer has also produced many other furnishing elements such as ashtrays, coffee tables and lamps. The ashtray that we offer for design and material seems to be part of this vast production of this manufacturer. The ashtray has a classic quadrangular shape but the distinctive element that distinguishes it and makes it more similar to a sculpture than a simple ashtray is in the handmade carved elements. There is a small central basin that connects with those created to be able to place the cigarettes laterally, but above all the lines that intersect each other as in a sound sculpture by Pinuccio Sciola.
