1960s An extraordinary and sculptural Mid-Century Modern Murano glass catchall or ashtray, designed by Flavio Poli for Seguso Vetri d'Arte in Italy. Crafted using the celebrated sommerso technique—where layers of contrasting colored glass are submerged within one another without blending—this heavy, jewel-like vessel features a deep, luminous emerald green core encased in a thick layer of vibrant golden amber and crystal clear glass. The exterior is masterfully hand-faceted (molato), creating crisp geometric planes that catch and refract light from every angle. Whether displayed as a standalone sculptural object on a coffee table or used as an elegant catchall, it exemplifies the refined minimalism and technical mastery of post-war Venetian glassmaking. It's in excellent condition with no chips, scratches or others.
