Description from the seller

Murano Glass
Excellent
Carlo Moretti
Ø 15 cm. Height 1.5 cm. Weight 859 g.
Italian Post (Poste Italiane)

An authentic sculpture of brilliant glass born from the fire of Murano furnaces, signed by one of the most daring and revolutionary names in Italian glass design: Carlo Moretti.
This splendid ashtray encapsulates the essence of great Venetian modern design, merging the massive substance of submerged crystal with the dynamism of an hypnotic internal vortex. Candide graphic lines in milky white glass chase each other in a fluid spiral, forever captured in the molten glass thanks to the complex technique of the "Mano Volante". A hot-pressed movement without the use of molds, which makes each piece a unique work of art, capable of playing with natural light and creating ever-new reflections.

• Double Authenticity: The piece retains intact the original stamp of the Carlo Moretti workshop and bears the precious diamond-point engraved signature directly on the glass surface.
It is presented in excellent condition; there may be small signs due to age and use that do not compromise its beauty or usefulness.
Please carefully review the photographs as they are an integral part of the description.
Any duties or additional charges will be charged to the buyer; please check in advance to avoid unpleasant surprises.

Fast shipping, careful packaging
