Description from the seller
Murano Bullicante Cigar Ashtray – heavy Sommerso art glass – about the 1950s/60s – 2 kg
Large and extremely solid cigar ashtray made of Murano glass in high-quality Bullicante technique. The piece impresses with its heavy construction, warm amber color and the evenly embedded air bubbles that give the glass its characteristic depth and lively texture.
