ABOUT PRODUCTID 13417
This Art Deco ashtray from the 1930s, crafted from faceted crystal in a saturated cobalt blue tone, is an example of the glassmaking tradition of the Moser works in Karlovy Vary (present-day Czech Republic). The design is based on a pronounced octagonal form with geometric, symmetrically cut facets characteristic of the era’s fondness for clean lines and decoration through construction. The thick, polished crystal creates both mass and ornament; three evenly spaced notches on the rim serve as practical cigarette rests. The use of heavy crystal ensures stability and durability, while the restrained approach to ornamentation emphasizes color and light as the chief means of expression. No secondary colors or decorative motifs are present – the effect rests on precision cutting and material quality. The condition is very good, with no visible chips, scratches, or signs of restoration; all surfaces remain smooth and authentic.This piece channels the spirit of the 1930s, a period when architecture and everyday objects sought to embody modernity through symmetry, clarity of structure, and the prominence of noble materials. Its geometry and deep blue hue recall the cool gleams of neon and the sophisticated interiors of the interwar era. The play of light across its facets brings shifting highlights to the space – always changing with the ambient conditions, as if the ashtray itself lingers in the poised calm of early twentieth-century salons.It can be displayed as a centerpiece on an oak console or coffee table, standing alone or accompanied by select ceramic or brass accents. The ashtray can be paired with 1920s and 1930s Art Deco furniture for a period look, or set alongside contemporary geometric forms to emphasize its compact lines and striking color. It is suited to collectors’ vintage interiors, or as an accent in minimalist, subdued arrangements.
