BEAUTIFUL CLASSIC BLUE OVERSHOT LEAF ASHTRAY WITH A REALLY GREAT PINK BOW TRIM. Even though this piece certainly has the look of a FRATELLI TOSO, I have not been able to find out if it is or not. It certainly seems to be a piece made in the Grangioli Murano Italy Art Glass Style, but has no label. This piece is an ashtray, as is evidenced by the fact that there are is a dip strategically placed over the knot of the pink bow for the cigarette to rest upon. The piece is in very good condition, with a place near the tip of the leaf with a void in the overshot, as shown in the photos. Other than that, there are no cracks, chips, flea bites, residue, or other damage that I am aware of. During the making of this piece, a few stray pieces of the overshot adhered to the inner smooth side of the ashtray which are not visible, but can be felt with the hand. The true test of crackle glass is whether or not it floresces in UVB light. The 4th photo shows this piece is brightly florescent in UVB light glowing in a medium blue glow in the body of the ashtray, and brilliant florescent blue at the location of the pink bow. The piece is very nice, and would make a great addition to any Fratelli Toso collection, even though it may be other Italian Glassware, made during the same period during the 1950's. This piece is in Very Good Condition, and at this price, is a Great Find.
