Design and Style: The piece features Mandruzzato's signature design (Cubic/Geometric style): a massive block of glass/crystal with precisely ground external facets that create a sculptural play of light.
Optical Effect: Its uniqueness lies in its color: the glass is transparent and pure, but when held back by light and angled, it reveals an internal purple/blue and green hue, creating a magnificent multi-colored dichroic or "Sommerso" optical effect.
Material: Made of solid, very heavy glass/crystal, which enhances its artistic value.
Use: Perfect as a table ashtray, a vase (with the internal cavity), or as a decorative sculpture. Ideal for collectors of Venetian glass art.
Condition: Excellent vintage condition, with the crystal brilliance intact.
Dimensions (cm):

Width/Depth: 9.5 cm x 9.5 cm (Square Base)
Height (H): 9 cm
An iconic piece of Italian modernism, perfect for luxury furnishings.
