Blown in layers of deep red and amber-orange, this sculptural form features excellent color clarity and optical depth, with a thick clear encasement enhancing the dimensionality — hallmarks of Venetian sommerso glasswork.
While unsigned, its technique and color profile are strongly consistent with Murano studio work from the 1950s–1970s.

Whether used as a catchall, ashtray, or sculptural accent, this jewel-toned piece makes a striking statement.
