A striking large-scale handblown art glass ashtray or catchall bowl in a rich ruby red hue, featuring an elegant controlled bubble pattern suspended within the thick glass walls. This substantial sculptural piece showcases beautiful organic contours with four resting notches and a deeply saturated cranberry/ruby coloration that glows beautifully under ambient lighting.
The heavy blown glass construction and embedded bubble design strongly evoke Mid-Century Modern Murano-inspired studio glass aesthetics from the 1960s–1970s. Its impressive weight and thick rounded form give it exceptional presence as a decorative tabletop object, whether styled as an oversized ashtray, centerpiece bowl, or artistic catchall.
The interior bubbles create wonderful dimensionality and visual movement throughout the piece. A highly displayable statement object for collectors of vintage art glass, Murano-style décor, or sculptural Mid-Century accessories.
Please note: one controlled bubble near the upper rim reached the surface during production and opened slightly, creating a small manufacturing-related surface rupture visible along the top edge. It does not appear to compromise the structural integrity and reads as part of the handmade character of the piece.
