Sculptural Murano ashtray or Vide Poche made of heavy, solid glass, manufactured in Italy in the 1950s/60s. The square base is lightened by softly curved, raised corners, giving the object its characteristic mid-century silhouette.
Inside lies an intensely yellow-green uranium glass core, surrounded by clear glass, giving the piece an exceptional optical depth. Under UV light, the uranium glass shows its typical bright green fluorescence. The solid wall thickness and the organic modeling make the piece particularly effective as an ashtray or as a Vide Poche, small bowl, or decorative glass object.
