I hit that estate sale an hour after it opened Friday morning. Really not much to choose from, but they did have 4 heavy ashtrays, matching, clearly murano. Got a good price.
These could be described as a Scramble Latticino. The Latticino canes were broken into short pieces and then used in the molten glass.
1st and 2nd photos show each,
3rd shows them together,
4th shows them upside down.
If anybody has any ideas as to the history of these, I would be happy to hear, as I have done the research on them and came up goose eggs.
Thanks for stopping by.

STUNNING !!!!
Thank you Vetraio and Brunswick. Very appreciative that you two gents are digging the pieces.
Thank you both for the "Love it" clicks.
Yeah stunning!
I love the free form of the bowls too.
Thank you Karen for the Love and compliment. The free form is really great.
Thank you Aura, Swfinluv1 and OneGoodFind for the "Love it" clicks.
Doing research on these ashtrays, I discovered that that this type glasswork is called "Scramble Latticino". Still haven't tracked down the "Seguso" lead provided by Mr. Vetraio. Hope to find it eventually.
