Details
A striking piece of mid-century art glass, this vintage ashtray features a bold sunshine- yellow bowl encased over a milky white (opaline) base, created using the ‘‘sommerso’’ ( submerged) glass technique popular in Murano and Scandinavian glasswork of the 1950s-60s. The organic, free-form silhouette, irregular and pebble-like rather than perfectly round, is typical of hand-blown studio glass from this era, with a gently undulating rim and three soft indents designed to rest a cigarette.
The glass has a thick, substantial wall with excellent clarity and saturation in the yellow layer, catching the light beautifully. The base fades into a satin-finished white, likely achieved through acid-etching or a cased white layer, giving the piece a two-tone, sculptural quality that works equally well as a decorative bowl or catchall.
This piece bears no maker’s marks or labels, which is typical for glass of this type and period. The ashtray is in good vintage condition with only minor surface scratches consistent with age and use; no chips, cracks, or repairs observed.
