While … more We love this extraordinary ICET Arte Murano of Venezuela ashtray for the gorgeous triangular form and smooth curvy lines. While it is an ashtray in form, it is also a beautiful piece of art glass with each triangle side resembling long leaves like those of lillie of the valley or tulips by the formation on the underside. The color is a muted purple.
Displayed under lights, on a shelf or coffee table with regular day use, it will certainly be a treasure!

History from "Collector's Weekly" (posted 9 years ago): Arte Murano ICET was founded by Bruno Ava in 1957. He traveled from Italy to Venezuela and built his factory there. All raw materials used in making the glass are imported from Italy except for the sand. The glass is entirely handmade and in the "Murano" style. Glassworks in the Murano style are still very rare outside of Italy. Jessie McNab, associate curator in the department of European sculpture and decorative arts at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, says that Icet Arte is the only factory that she's heard of producing this glass in the Western Hemisphere.
Bruno Ava came to Venezuela from Italy 30 years ago, ''looking,'' he says, ''for new horizons.'' He married an Italian woman living in Venezuela and, ''because it is cooler in the mountains,'' built his factory in Potrerito. He started the Icet Arte Murano with a dozen craftsmen, two of whom still work with him, and today he employs 70 to 80 people. less
