An absolutely authentic original from the 1970s, it represents the perfection of Bohemian glass art. Crafted from solid, transparent grey glass, the object impresses with its weighty, high-quality feel and a unique, organically flowing form. The ingenious design feature is the two separate compartments, harmoniously integrated into the glass. This exceptional division makes the design object wonderfully versatile in modern interiors: the design is also perfect as an elegant dish for jewelry or keys, should you not wish to use it as a traditional ashtray. A detail for collectors and aesthetes: the piece still bears the original sticker with the inscription "Bohemia Glass Made in Czechoslovakia" and the distinctive ZBS logo in the center. This label guarantees the premium origin and makes the design history of this smoky gray glass artwork perfectly tangible. See less
