1960s Brass and Glass Dish
Italy, 1960s.
With a solid glass base encased in a geometric frame of brushed brass and clear plexiglass, these square dishes are a bold expression of mid-century Italian design. Originally conceived as vide-poches or ashtrays, their refined materiality and sculptural form elevate everyday rituals.
In good vintage condition, the brass frame has developed a beautiful natural patina, adding warmth and depth to their minimalist lines. Striking in their simplicity, they serve as functional objects or sculptural accents—perfect for holding small treasures, on a desk or by the door.
