ABOUT PRODUCTID 4439
This crystal ashtray by Moser, crafted circa 1930 in Czechoslovakia, exemplifies the artistry of the Art Deco era. Made from Alexandrite crystal with a cool violet tone and subtle blue undertones, it is distinguished by its exceptional clarity and polished finish. The rectangular silhouette is defined by precisely cut geometric facets and beveled edges, emphasizing modernist symmetry and clean lines. The top surface is flat, with a deep, oval depression for ash and a single, shallow groove for resting a cigarette. The Moser signature on the underside confirms its authenticity. The ashtray is preserved in excellent condition, with no signs of wear, damage, or restoration. The form of this piece evokes the atmosphere of 1930s modernist salons, when Moser glass was synonymous with luxury and innovation. Its geometric cuts reflect light like architectural facades, while the cool violet hue of the crystal subtly shifts with changing angles of illumination. This object “tells the story” of an era when artistry met precision, and everyday accessories were elevated to the status of small works of art. The ashtray can be displayed on a low dark wood sideboard or a glass side table, where the clarity of crystal and faceted geometry will be highlighted. It pairs well with other Art Deco accents—such as a chrome lighter, silver cigarette case, or a small period sculpture. In a contemporary setting, it may be combined with matte surfaces and minimalist forms to underscore its historical pedigree and refined color palette. The ashtray measures 11.5 × 8 cm, with a height of 3.6 cm. The glass shows no signs of use or damage. Due to the polished surface, it is recommended to clean with a soft cloth, avoiding abrasive agents, to preserve the crystal’s brilliance and clarity.
