A deep cobalt blue glass core is encased in clear apricot-colored glass and extensively faceted on the outside. The faceted exterior creates a striking interplay of light and color with a distinct sense of depth.

The piece can be used as an ashtray or bowl and is equally suitable as a standalone decorative glass object. The craftsmanship is of high quality and typical of Murano glass art from the 1960s.

Unsigned, as is common with many Murano pieces of this period.
