Elegant and eye-catching, this original vintage Murano glass ashtray – “Scorpion Spiral” design is a hand-blown Italian art glass piece crafted using traditional Murano glassmaking techniques. The sculptural form features an organic spiral silhouette with softly undulating, irregular edges reminiscent of an amoeba, while one extended arm rises and curls upward, evoking the striking shape of a scorpion’s tail, a bold and highly decorative detail.
The deep, dark glass base enhances the vivid multicolor spiral at the center, where rich tones of yellow, green, blue, and subtle metallic purple are fused directly into the glass. The surface is smooth and glossy, with gentle color variations typical of hand-blown Murano art glass, ensuring that each piece is truly one of a kind.
More than just a functional ashtray, this piece works beautifully as a vintage Murano glass collectible, a sculptural decorative accent, or an art glass centerpiece. The original “Murano – Made in Italy” label on the base confirms its authenticity and origin.
