About the Item

A lovely purple and gold murano glass shell ashtray in the style of Barovier. It has totally hand-crafted in Venice in the Seventies. A striking testament to the glamour and creativity of the 1970s Mid-Century Modern design, the ashtray stands as a luxurious fusion of artistic ingenuity and functional elegance. Crafted on the renowned Venetian island of Murano, this ashtray exemplifies the region's legacy of glassmaking mastery. Its shell-shaped form, a nod to nature's organic beauty, is meticulously hand-blown, showcasing the artisan's skill in manipulating molten glass into a graceful and evocative shape. The color palette is opulent and alluring, with regal purple serving as the backdrop for accents of rich gold. The purple hue captures the essence of luxury and mystique, while the glistening gold details impart an air of sophistication and refinement. As a representation of its era, this Murano Glass ashtray captures the essence of 1970s design, marked by a marriage of luxury, boldness, and artistic innovation. Its intricate craftsmanship, captivating color palette, and shell-inspired form make it a remarkable embodiment of a time that celebrated both opulence and creativity.
