Vintage Italian Bowl in Uranium Murano Glass with Yellow and Green Hues, 1960s

About This Piece

Vintage Design

For how magical it might seem at first glance, Murano glass is mostly a matter of chemistry. Color is obtained through the reaction of specific elements which, added to the glass fuse and heated to a certain temperature, will produce the bright hues found on Murano glass objects.

This green/yellowish tones, which are usually found on Sommerso pieces from the Seventies, were the product of a heated part of uranium. While this might seem dangerous at first, there is absolutely no hazard to health: the use of uranium in the production of glass and ceramic is rather common and has been for decades.

The present piece is a triangular ashtray (or bowl) measuring around preserved in great conditions; it only shows the light, expectable signs of time for a piece almost 50 years old.
