Murano Purple Iridescent Glass Ashtray Midcentury Modern 1960 Art Glass, rare

Amazing 1950-1960 Heavy (5 lbs) Murano Purple topside, Clear bottom 4 cigarette indented Midcentury Modern dimpled Ashtray (4 cute side dimples). 6” diameter at topside angled down to 3.5” diameter at dimpled bottom. 4” tall, which is tall for a Murano 1950’s to early 60’s ashtray. No signature. Looks like Alfredo Barbini style. Many air bubbles, hundreds of them at least, one picture tries to capture a “Milky Way” view of tiny air bubbles seen at the bottom clear glass. Certain angles show a demarcation between the colored two thirds and no color one third of this piece, top being purple, bottom being clear. Other angles and light conditions make the whole piece look purplish. With little light, this piece looks deep blue. With lots of light, it can look light purple. There are 3 scratches on the lower part and some contact scratches on absolute bottom where it slid back and forth over the years. Overall, excellent vintage condition. Very dignified and stately looking rare Modern Art.
