About the Item

Wonderful midcentury multicolored "submerged" Murano glass ashtray. This wonderful item was produced in Italy in 1960. This piece is amazing as it can be used both as an ashtray or bowl, and the Murano glass is shaped using the submerged technique. This operation consists of creating several layers of glass (usually with different contrasting colors) inside a single object, giving the illusion of “immersed” colors that lay on top of each other without mixing. This is done by uniting different layers of glass through heat and repeatedly immersing them in pots of molten colored glass. This technique is quite recognizable in this case: it is characterized by an outer layer of colorless glass and thick layers of colored glass inside it as if big drops of color had been captured inside the transparent glass. This bowl comes without chipping and it seems almost impossible to conceive such beautiful colors being locked so perfectly inside what would seem solid glass, and then undoubtedly you will begin to wonder how ever did they manage to achieve such a complex game of shapes and colors right in the middle of a clear glass object.
