The piece features a sculptural triangular form with rounded corners and a soft inward-pulled rim. It’s crafted in a striking amethyst-colored glass with a controlled bullicante bubble pattern spiraling through the interior — a signature technique of Murano glassmakers.

The heavy, clear sommerso-style base showcases the bubble work beautifully and offers a rich optical effect when viewed in light. While unmarked, the quality of craftsmanship is consistent with known works by Barbini, Fratelli Toso, or Seguso, dating to the 1950s–1970s.

Use it as a statement ashtray, catchall, or standalone decorative art piece.

Dimensions: Approx. 5" across
Condition: Excellent vintage condition, no chips or cracks.
