Murano Ashtray Galliano Ferro Sommerso Emerald Green 1960

Superb organic glass catchall from Murano, a true collector's piece of Italian design from the 1950s-1960s. This creation from the prestigious Galliano Ferro glassworks, one of the most renowned houses on the island of Murano for its exceptional mastery of colours and shapes. Of remarkable craftsmanship quality, this bowl perfectly illustrates the Sommerso (submerged) technique. A core of deep, intense emerald green glass contrasts beautifully with a second layer of azure blue, all sealed within a thick envelope of colourless crystal. This layering creates a unique visual depth, almost liquid. The asymmetrical "bean" shape, characteristic of post-war organic style, reflects the assured gesture of the artisan. Its base, perfectly ground and polished flat, ensures optimal stability and showcases the high-quality finish typical of the Galliano Ferro workshop. A versatile art object, it will enhance your desk, a vintage sideboard, or a coffee table. Condition: Excellent state of preservation, perfect shine, usage scratches under the base attest to its authenticity. Dimensions: Height 6.5cm | Width 18cm | Weight: 884g. Careful shipping: I take absolute care in protecting this piece, shipped in a professional custom packaging to ensure impeccable reception.
