    Murano Macchia Glass Art 1950s Ashtray

    Psychedelic modernist decor glass art ashtray. Eye-catching 1950s hand-made Murano art glass. The decor method is called “Macchia” in Italian. English translation is “stain” or “mark”. It was accomplished by applying drops of colored glass onto the surface of the hot glass which is then worked into the glass by hand to create the pattern.

    Thick, chunky, hand-formed quality glass. The rims are folded down, the base is polished flat and when you look close you can see three heart outline shapes on the exterior glass added during the hot decorating process. This shape is an icon of mid-century studio decorative glass. It can be used as an ashtray, candy/nut bowl, flower float, catch-all, and/or candleholder. NOTE: Always remove metal from contemporary candles before using in vintage glass.

    Glass has some trapped air bubbles as expected in mid-20th century studio glass art. Measures 5.75? at widest, 3.75? tall and weighs 2.75 lbs.
