This sculptural mid-century modern Murano glass cube catchall features a thick, solid glass block with a recessed bowl-form opening. Crafted in Italy circa the 1960s, the piece showcases the refined weight, clarity, and minimalist geometry associated with Murano art glass production of the era.

The cube form is accented by soft internal curves that create depth and optical interest from every angle. Designed as a functional catchall or decorative object, this piece works beautifully as a desk accessory, trinket dish, or standalone sculptural accent.
