Description from the seller

Set of Two Vintage Murano Art Glass Centerpieces / Mid-Century)

Splendid pair of vintage ashtray-centerpieces dating from the mid-20th century, featuring freehand sculptural work and organic lines typical of the Murano artistic glass tradition, Mid-Century Modern.

1. Organic Amber Centerpiece

Elegant sculptural bowl in solid amber-colored gradient glass, with sinuous, smooth forms that recall the iconic submerged style of masters such as Flavio Poli. The thick, transparent base opens into a fluid, welcoming silhouette, perfect both as a decorative piece and as a refined ashtray.
For the purity of the lines, the generous glass thickness and the color transition, the piece is attributed to the style and period of Flavio Poli for Seguso Vetri d'Arte, representing an excellent example of submerged Murano craftsmanship of the 1950s/60s.
• Color: Amber / warm transparent brown
• Dimensions: 28 cm (length) x 13 cm (height) x 20 cm (depth)
Weight 3.3 kg

2. Blue Centerpiece "Star / Shell"

Spectacular centerpiece with slender, dynamic ends, made in gradient artistic glass. The central body is transparent and intensifies into a vivid blue/turquoise along the upper edges. The base features delicate heat-shaped sculptural protuberances that elevate the structure, recalling the classic vintage Murano techniques of the 1960s/70s.
• Color: Sky blue / Transparent crystal
• Dimensions: 30 cm (length) x 10 cm (height) x 11 cm (depth)

In excellent condition, no cracks or chips.
