Striking mid-century Murano glass bowl in the classic “geode” form, with an emerald-green core submerged in a warm amber layer and encased in thick clear crystal (sommerso technique). The heavy, prism-cut body has sharp, polished facets with a square/rounded well and a crisp geometric profile, characteristic of Mandruzzato workshop pieces from the 1960s–70s. Unsigned (as many were). Perfect as a sculptural catchall, ashtray, or paperweight; wonderful optical effects under light.

A striking mid-century Murano glass ashtray of geometric block form, executed in thick, clear glass with a vivid turquoise-blue interior well. The design contrasts sharp, angular edges with the fluid curvature of the inset basin, producing a dynamic interplay of light, depth, and color. Characteristic of Murano’s 1960s artistry, this piece exemplifies the period’s fascination with bold color encasements and sculptural clarity. Both functional and decorative, it embodies the elegance and innovation of Venetian glassmaking in the modern era.
