    Here are a pair of Italian made art glass ashtrays. They are beautiful to look at and are very well made. As you can see, they are made with a white glass base with 4 corners, 4 cigarette resting spots and a gorgeous green and sparkling gold swirled pattern. As further proof that they are authentic, one of the two still has its Made in Italy sticker on the underside. All I would to know further about these beauties is if someone can determine which Italian glass maker made them and when they were made.
    The Italians really knew what they were doing when it came to glass making!! I say that because of all the fakes - both in the lesser quality glass and the imitation labels placed on the fake glass pieces. It makes the genuine piece that much more desirable. Just saying...

      Hi there, your pieces are Murano Art Glass made on the island Murano ( Italy ). By the looks they appears to have a *Butterfly Shape* which appears to be the Furance of Fratelli Toso. The partial label on the bottom does confirm the Blue / silver foil label to be that of the company Fratelli Toso. Here are some Figurines of mine that were made by FT. A complete label would look like this ( see the last pic):

      Several different style, variations, and colors were done. You can see my piece next to some other Published examples in a book. Here are a couple of mine for examples of Fratelli Toso other pieces:
