Rendered in a delicate, clear light blue, the glass captures the light and allows it to play through the solid body in soft nuances. Typical of Lütken's designs from the 1950s and 60s is the organic, soft form, reminiscent of a polished pebble from the sea. The weight of the glass lends the object an impressive sense of value and stability. As a mark of authenticity, this classic bears the characteristic engraving on the underside, unmistakably identifying it as an original Holmegaard piece. Whether as a stylish accessory for collectors, a place to put small items, or simply as a decorative art object on a sideboard – this ashtray embodies the timeless elegance of Danish glass art. It brings the cool freshness of the North and the artisanal perfection of a bygone era directly into your home. See less
