ABOUT PRODUCTID 32185
This ashtray, designed by Rudolf Jurnikl for Sklo Union Rudolfova Sklárna in Czechoslovakia, exemplifies 1960s glassmaking rooted in the mid-century modern tradition. Crafted from pressed glass in a cool, light blue shade, it features a subtly translucent, glossy finish. The exterior boasts a pronounced, irregular texture reminiscent of ice or organic crystals, contrasting with the smooth, gently concave interior. The thick, uniform rim includes three evenly spaced notches for resting cigarettes, while the low, wide proportions (15 cm diameter, 6 cm height) emphasize stability and a bold geometric silhouette. The ashtray is preserved in very good vintage condition, with no chips or cracks and only minimal signs of use. The sculptural body of this ashtray captures the spirit of the 1960s – a time when function met artistic experimentation and everyday objects took on sculptural qualities. Its cool blue hue and organic texture evoke an era where glass became a medium for creative exploration, as if a fragment of a wintry landscape or crystalline ice was embedded within. The form speaks to simplicity and daring, reminding us that even a small object can embody both material character and artistic intent. This type of ashtray can serve as both a functional piece on a living room table and a decorative accent on a modern sideboard or display cabinet. It would work well alongside mid-century modern furnishings or in eclectic interiors that play with contrasting textures and tones. Pair it with other vintage glassware, ceramics in neutral colors, or minimalist sculpture to highlight its artistic heritage and luminous presence. The listed price refers to one piece of the product.
