Vintage Barbini Art Glass Ashtray in Orange with Gold

Vintage Italian Art Glass Tangerine Ashtray with Gold Veils

Vintage Italian art glass ashtray made in Murano, circa 1950's – 1960's. The decor style is often attributed to the Seguso or Toso families of glass artists. This beautiful work of ashtray art is not signed, so we cannot name a specific designer, but we can verify it is authentic vintage Murano art glass.

The decor was accomplished by layering dark orange glass between layers of colorless and white glass, with veils of gold aventurine between the glass layers. The gold veils are visible from the upper surface, but hard to catch in images. It was made by hand over 50 years ago.

Four cigar sized rests were achieved by hand tool. Level cradle rests will balance smaller smokes too. Nice deep bowl to catch the debris. Heavy ashtray weighs almost three pounds. Measures 6.25″ x 6″ and 2.25″ tall. In perfect condition.
