Mid-century era gold-tone amber Bullicante Murano style art glass bowl/ashtray crafted in the style of Barovier & Toso with the fusion of elegance and technical brilliance mixed with Modern design that defined the glassmakers of the Murano island. The light gold-tone amber glass showcases the Pulegoso technique, which fills the glass with fine, frothy bubbles, creating a textured, almost cloud-like appearance. This tactile quality is further enhanced by the Bullicante method, where evenly spaced air bubbles are carefully suspended within the glass, adding depth and visual intrigue.
The bowl's ruffled rims evoke a sense of fluidity and organic motion, reflecting Barovier & Toso's signature balance between sculptural artistry and refined utility. Whether used as a decorative piece or an ashtray, its luminous color and meticulous craftsmanship make it a standout example of the Murano tradition.
