Description

Here is an exquisite 1950/60's Venetian freeform glass bowl/ashtray, made on the island of Murano, near Venice, Italy. Decorated with silver leaf, and multicoloured murrines. Surrounded with an outer casing of black glass. Most likely made by the Fratelli Toso factory, due to similar bowls with the same style of hollowed canes, bearing a "Castle" import label, which is almost always associated with Fratelli Toso production.
