A vintage ashtray crafted from pressed glass in a luminous, clear light green shade, complemented by a matte silver-gray metal insert. The glass surface is lustrous and glossy, accentuating the vibrancy of the hue, while the form is defined by distinctive geometric protrusions—arranged rhythmically around the circumference in a starburst or atomic motif—reflecting the mid-century modern aesthetics of the 1960s. Modest in size, decorative yet practical, this ashtray is well-suited for display in a living room or study. The metal insert shows a subtle, even patina attesting to its age, but both glass and metal are preserved in very good vintage condition with no chips or cracks; minor signs of wear are superficial and consistent with careful use.This ashtray captures the spirit of optimism and futuristic ambition of the 1960s, when everyday objects adopted dynamic silhouettes and inventive forms. The pressed glass speaks of faith in modern manufacturing, while the balanced symmetry of the “atomic” prongs conjures an era enamored with the space race and experimental design. Light filtering through the green body animates the piece with delicate reflections, while the subdued sheen of the metal insert adds a discreet, almost jewelry-like note—quietly reminiscing the glamour and ingenuity of its time.As both a functional object and decorative accent, this piece could be used in its traditional role or as an artful collectible on a coffee table, sideboard, or as part of a 1960s-inspired vignette. It would harmonize with mid-century modern interiors—pair it with sleek wood furniture, soda-lime glass, or metallic accessories for a cohesive effect. A sculptural lamp or mirrored vase could play off its radiant green, while a grouping with
