This crystal ashtray, produced by the renowned Ludwik Moser & Sohne glassworks around 1930, is a quintessential example of Central European Art Deco. Crafted from hand-cut crystal glass in a vivid raspberry hue, it features a geometric, square silhouette with sharply faceted edges and four precisely carved cigarette rests. The substantial walls and flat, solid base impart a sense of weight and stability, while the maker's signature etched on the underside confirms its authenticity. The glossy surface accentuates the interplay of light across the richly saturated, transparent glass, with subtle tonal variations emerging from natural differences in thickness. The interior is smoothly polished, with no visible signs of wear or damage. Its condition is excellent, free from chips or scratches. This piece recounts the story of the 1930s, when Art Deco sought a balance between luxury and geometric discipline. The raspberry tone evokes the ambiance of salons where the brilliance of crystal and the sophistication of form defined modernity and elegance. The depth of color and the play of light on the cut edges invite constant rediscovery—each glance reveals a new facet, as though the object retains the vibrant spirit of its era. Crystal of this caliber not only reflects light but also preserves a sense of bygone gatherings, conversations, and gestures, quietly embodying the style of its time. The ashtray can be placed on a low walnut or rosewood coffee table, highlighting the character of natural wood and the strong lines of mid-century furniture.
