A vintage Murano Mandruzzato hexagonal art glass dish.... Made in Murano, Venice, Italy. Original design attributed to Mandruzzato or Campanella. It's hexagonal from above, with 24 flat polished cut (faceted) sides, with an hexagonal flat polished base. Each side is skilfully polished flat with a gently softened divide. Flat polished rim with a rounded opening and two slots for cigarettes (would have been a very fancy ashtray back in the day). It's a dusky plum pink internally (a rounded well) with a golden amber floating colour layer (sommerso) and aqua (pale blue/green) outer casing glass. It has more upper facets than many and is particularly sparkly. Circa 1960s to 1970s mid century vintage. Hand made/hand finished - a beautifully and skillfully made quality piece. Looks amazing in the sunshine and on display, like a diamond. A decent sized 11 x 11 x 6.5cm tall. Around 700g - quite a statement piece of vintage Venetian glass. Very good condition for the age. With a magnifying glass there's two tiny inner rim fleabites. No noticeable scratches. I'd give it a 9.5/10, great for a coffee table and for display. Perfect gift idea, a collector would love this! Includes P&P to the UK via Royal Mail.
