    A pretty cool Large Murano Aventurine Ashtray with Red Glass and a White Liner. Measures 12" x 12" x 3" tall. I haven't seen one like this before. I'd be interested in learning, when it was made. Thanks for stopping by.

    Much Thanks to Rose for the excellent info and examples of Toso Butterfly Bowls. I appreciate it very much.

      Hi Deano - This is Murano Art Glass made by the Furanc company of FRATELLI TOSO. It is called a Butterfly Ashtray // Bowl. I have a couple posted too here:

      You will note here in my post that I took a picture of one of my Butterfly Bowls against a Published Book with several other Examples on the pages. I believe that was from either a Leslie Pina Book on "Fratelli Toso" or from the Book "Italian Glass Century 20", page 166, says Fratelli Toso, designed by Ermanno Toso in the 1950's and 1960's
