Vintage Murano Style Cobalt Blue Glass Ashtray – Gold Gilt Italian Art

Elegant Murano-style cobalt blue glass ashtray with hand-painted gold gilt scrollwork and white enamel figures. Vintage Italian art glass collectible.

Step back into the golden age of Italian craftsmanship with this stunning Murano-style cobalt blue glass ashtray, hand-decorated with gold gilt and white enamel detailing.

Made in Italy, this exquisite mid-century piece showcases a neoclassical scene of two women and a child surrounded by floral motifs — beautifully etched and highlighted in white enamel. The deep cobalt blue glass radiates under light, creating a mesmerizing depth that contrasts beautifully with the hand-applied 24K-style gold scrollwork along the rim.

While the exact maker is unknown, the style and quality are strongly consistent with Murano Venetian glasswork, known for its rich color, refined detail, and traditional gold embellishments. The piece still bears its original “Made in Italy” foil label, confirming its origin.

Perfect as a display dish, catchall, vanity tray, or vintage décor accent, this collectible embodies the elegance and charm of Italy’s art glass tradition.
