Seguso Murano Glass Ashtray from the 50s

About the Item

Seguso Murano Glass Ashtray from the 1950s. A gem of color and sophistication, suspended between art and functionality: this splendid Murano glass ashtray, with its deep cobalt blue hue, is an authentic tribute to the great Venetian glassmaking tradition. Attributable to the famous Seguso factory, a name that for centuries has embodied excellence and innovation in the world of glass, this piece tells a story of craftsmanship and pure beauty. The material, modeled by hand according to ancient techniques, is expressed in a soft and organic shape, where the intense color captures and refracts the light with infinite shades. Every curve, every thickness, testifies to the skill of those who knew how to tame the fire and transform it into poetry. The design, essential but at the same time full of character, makes this ashtray perfect not only as an object of use, but also as a decorative element of great charm. Ideal for embellishing a contemporary living room, a refined study or a collection of 20th century design. A small masterpiece to be proudly displayed, capable of evoking the discreet elegance and formal perfection typical of Seguso creations. An invitation to surround yourself with objects that are not only beautiful to look at, but also full of history, tradition and art.
