Murano Venetian Hand Blown Art Glass Ashtray/Dish Designed by Alfredo Barbini

Location: Indiana USA 🇺🇸 I fell in love with this piece the second I laid eyes on it. It's greenish Jade color with flecks of gold in an aventurine technique, it's shape! It is simple but yet fabulously gorgeous. It's a mid 20th century piece of beautiful art by Designer Alfredo Barbini for Murano, created in the 1950's. In my research on this piece it was listed as an ashtray. But if you choose to use it rather than display you could use it for any type of catch all dish. :) In the last photo, l've circled some “spots”. These were done during the making of this gorgeousness. Also, there was a piece like this one that sold for $800 on eBay! $400 is an amazing deal! This work of art is in beautifully perfect condition. I will list, to be fair, in Good. Condition, due to the flea bites and because of my lack of information on how this was used prior to my acquiring it. However, you’d be hard pressed to find one in better condition or even one at all! *Dimensions: Height: 2.5 in (6.35 cm) Width: 9 in (22.86 cm) Depth: 8 in (20.32 cm) *Place of Origin: Italy I have had this piece for years. It has not been displayed as long as I have had it. It’s been properly packaged and stored away. Shipping from 47909: I will ship OUTSIDE of the USA but buyer is responsible for all shipping costs. I am open to reasonable offers. All I can do is politely decline. 🙂 Thank you for looking and for your time!
