ABOUT PRODUCTID 36973
This ashtray, produced in the 1930s by Moser in Czechoslovakia, is a quintessential example of Art Deco glass craftsmanship. The rectangular form is rendered in alexandrite crystal, notable for its cool violet hue with delicate blue undertones, and features sharply cut geometric facets and beveled edges. The upper surface is flat, with an oval indentation for ash and a single, shallow groove for resting a cigarette. The highly polished, glossy finish enhances the crystal's clarity and brilliance, while the glass’s thickness imparts a sense of solidity and luxury. The authenticity of the piece is affirmed by the Moser signature on the base. The overall impression is minimalist yet striking, with the faceted design creating dynamic light reflections and a sense of depth. The ashtray is preserved in excellent condition, showing no signs of use, damage, or restoration.The form of this ashtray evokes the spirit of the modernist 1930s, when glass accessories attained the status of small works of art. The faceted edges catch and scatter light like the architectural facades of the era, and the cool violet tone subtly shifts with changes in perspective or lighting. This object 'speaks' of a time when artistry and precision defined the everyday, and when even a utilitarian item like an ashtray could embody refined taste and innovation.This piece can be displayed on a low, dark wood sideboard or a glass occasional table, where the clarity and geometry of the crystal will be accentuated. It could be paired with period accessories—such as a chrome lighter, a silver cigarette case, or a small Art Deco sculpture. In a contemporary setting, it works well with matte surfaces and minimalist forms, highlighting its historical lineage and subtle color play.The ashtray measures 11.5 × 8 cm, with a height of 3.6 cm
