Here is another one of my funky pieces, This is a murano ashtray ?. End of Day? ..Fairly large at 6" x 6" but it does look to have the cigarette rest on the 2 corners.Piece is perfectly square, it looks a bit off from the angle I photographed it at.This has a single milefiori flower in the center of the bowl and a emerald green drip on the outside edge.As you see the color goes from a bright orange red into the peach color base.What drew me to the piece is the very odd artistic approach the artist took.And the stunning color

I have this glass cigar ashtray also with cranberry towards the top to clear pinched inward for 2 cigars with the blue kings crown and single millifiori in the center. But i have reaserched this as made by Archimede Seguso maybe for Fratelli & Toso. Its such a beautiful piece that it could only be by the great Archimede Seguso thats highly sought after. Please let me know if this is credible info. thanks Rudy
