Vintage Murano Art Glass Ashtray Bowl Red Orange Gold Aventurine 1950s For Sale

Striking vintage Murano Venetian art glass freeform bowl / ashtray, dating to approximately the 1950s–1960s. The heavy hand-formed clear glass body features a sculptural lobed rim with deep pulled indentations, creating the classic organic Mid-Century Modern form associated with postwar Murano production. Brilliant red and orange glass threads sweep freely throughout the clear body, accented by scattered gold-toned metallic inclusions that add depth and sparkle when viewed in the light. The substantial clear casing beautifully magnifies the internal decoration from different angles. An excellent small-scale example of vintage Italian art glass with particularly energetic color and movement. Measures approximately 5" wide. Comparable documented Venetian examples of this size and period are described as freeform Murano bowls/ashtrays incorporating red glass and metallic leaf
