Description

This exceptional Diamond Murano glass ashtray, designed by Flavio Poli for Seguso in the 1960s, is a true masterpiece of Italian glassmaking. The piece stands out for its sculptural, diamond-like form, with each carefully cut facet capturing and reflecting light in a unique way.

The tray features a refined color composition: a warm aubergine-to-chestnut brown core encased in a transparent layer that subtly transitions into a soft yellow. This combination creates an intriguing optical effect in which color and clarity shift continuously depending on the light. The result is a jewel-like presence—weighty yet elegant in perfect balance.

Typical of Flavio Poli’s work is the seamless integration of color and form, combined with the refined sommerso technique for which Seguso is internationally renowned. This piece is a beautiful example of the craftsmanship and aesthetic that make Murano glass so timeless and sought after.

In excellent condition, with only minor signs on the underside consistent with age and gentle use. A stunning collector’s item that adds a luxurious touch to any interior, whether displayed as a decorative art object or used as a functional tray or catchall.
