Vtg Murano Sommerso Ruby Red FacetGeode Art Glass Bowl Ashtray Mandruzzato Style

This is a vintage Murano sommerso geode bowl/ashtray in a deep ruby red, encased in clear crystal glass with faceted sides. The interior is organic and craggy, almost resembling molten glass or gemstone texture, giving it a dramatic depth when light passes through. The base is flat and polished, consistent with hand-blown Murano techniques. It’s likely from the 1960s–1970s Mid-Century Modern era, possibly attributed to Alessandro Mandruzzato (known for faceted sommerso geodes) or the Seguso school. Features • Color: Deep ruby red core submerged in clear glass (“sommerso” technique). • Shape: Rounded geode interior with multi-faceted, cut-glass exterior. • Style: Mid-Century Modern (1950s–1970s). • Origin: Murano, Italy (attributed; many similar examples by Mandruzzato or Flavio Poli for Seguso Vetri d’Arte). • Function: Decorative bowl, ashtray, or trinket dish. • Craftsmanship: Hand-blown, likely with a polished pontil on the base.
