Hand-blown on the island of Murano, it features the renowned Sommerso technique, layering a deep, vivid pink within a thick, clear crystalline border.
The piece is characterized by its dramatic, undulating scalloped rim and organic, fluid form, which beautifully catches and refracts light. The ribbed exterior texture adds a sophisticated tactile element, contrasting with the smooth, polished interior.
Whether used as a functional ashtray, a sculptural tabletop bowl, or a jewelry "catch-all," this piece serves as a bold pop of color and a testament to Italian craftsmanship.
