An elegant, thick, molded glass ashtray featuring a striking color gradient from emerald green to amber yellow. Its organic shape with softened contours and three cigarette slots perfectly illustrates the modernist and sculptural aesthetic of the 1960s. The contrast between the clear glass and its colored core creates a particularly decorative, luminous effect. Both a functional object and a design piece, this ashtray can also be used as a catchall or a decorative element on a coffee table, desk, or console. A beautiful piece representative of post-war European glassmaking, sought after for its fluid lines and sculptural presence. See less
