Faceted red Murano glass ashtray
This Murano glass ashtray combines a thick, transparent body with an intensely red central cavity. Its polygonal outline is formed by numerous facets that refract light and visually shift the colors of the glass.
The piece measures 10.5 x 10.5 x H7.5 cm and has a solid construction, with a significant presence despite its compact dimensions.
Art glass from Murano
Murano glass takes its name from the island of Murano, located in the Venetian Lagoon, Italy. The town maintains a long tradition linked to the artisanal production of glass and art crystal.
This ashtray particularly highlights the contrast between the transparent outer glass and the red central area. The cut faces produce yellow, reddish, and transparent reflections that change depending on the lighting.
Geometric design and faceted glass
The outer shape moves away from the traditional circular ashtray. The perimeter features different planes and angles, while the top incorporates a rounded cavity.
The thickness of the glass allows the outer facets to function as refraction surfaces. Seen from the side, the depth of the red area and the solid structure of the transparent body are best appreciated.
No signature, label, or manufacturer's mark has been identified in the photographs. For this reason, the piece is not attributed to any specific Murano workshop or designer.
