Italian Mid Century Modern Murano Smoked Round Glass Ashtray, 1960s

A Murano glass ashtray is a type of ashtray made from glass that is handcrafted on the island of Murano, located in the Venetian Lagoon in Italy. Murano glass is highly regarded for its beauty and quality, and has been produced on the island for centuries.

Murano glass ashtrays are typically made using a technique called glassblowing, where a molten glass mixture is blown into a mold or shaped by hand. The glass is then cooled slowly in a special oven called a "tempera," which helps to strengthen and harden it.

Murano glass ashtrays come in a variety of styles and colors, ranging from simple, classic designs to more intricate and ornate pieces that feature intricate patterns, shapes, and colors. Some ashtrays may also feature decorative elements such as gold leaf, bubbles, or twisted glass.
