Lot 518: A mid-century Murano sommerso faceted geometric glass ashtray

A heavy, multi-faceted geometric glass ashtray featuring a central cobalt blue bowl encased in an amber glass layer, both submerged within a thick, colourless glass exterior. The piece is constructed using the sommerso technique and has been cold-worked with multiple flat-ground facets to create a prismatic form. A single semi-circular cigarette rest is cut into the top surface. The glass bears no factory marks, signatures, or labels. The item is accompanied by a handwritten identification note on yellow paper reading MURANO 1960S SOMMERSO MULTI FACETED ASHTRAY BY FLAVIO POLI FOR SEGUSO VETRI DARTE. No dimensions are provided as no measuring scale is present in the images.
