This Art Deco ashtray, crafted from cut crystal by Lausitzer Glas in Germany during the 1930s, exemplifies the geometric, multi-faceted design language of the interwar period. Its intense azure blue, fully transparent under the light, amplifies a spectacle of dynamic blue reflections across the sharply defined edges and planes. The proportions (15 × 15 × 6 cm) are balanced, with crisp lines and a robust yet refined volume. The surface is smooth and highly polished, while the original Lausitzer Glas paper label attests to provenance and authenticity. The ashtray is preserved in excellent condition, with no visible traces of use, damage, or restoration. This object captures the energy of the 1930s, circulating the spirit of modernist optimism with an embrace of luxury and precise craftsmanship. The crystal facets alternately fracture and transmit light into glimmering blue shades, as if each plane narrates the pace and clarity of an epoch defined by urban dynamism and sleek sophistication. The Lausitzer Glas ashtray gives voice to the era’s drive for clarity and distinction—demonstrating how even an everyday object could become a statement of style. Such a crystal ashtray can be paired with geometric accessories—cubist vases, smooth lacquered surfaces, or mirrors framed in chrome. It would find its place on a glass coffee table in an Art Deco-inspired living room, or as a decorative accent within eclectic or modernist interiors. The cut crystal’s brilliance is best emphasized by juxtaposing it with vivid colors or metallic finishes, reinforcing both its luminescence and sharp geometry. In a collector’s context, it may be displayed alongside miniature sculptures or other period artefacts as part of a curated tabletop vignette.
