The Val St Lambert ashtray is a notable example of Belgian crystal glass from the 1960s, distinguished by its mid-century modern aesthetic. Crafted from thick, hand-blown crystal, the piece features a vivid lemon-lime green core that transitions seamlessly to clear, colorless edges. Its shape is asymmetrical and organic—triangular with gently rounded corners, punctuated by three pronounced rests for cigarettes. The highly polished surface amplifies the depth of color and accentuates the sculptural, undulating walls, reflecting the high level of craftsmanship associated with Val St Lambert. The ashtray is substantial and weighty, both visually and in hand. Condition: very good, with minor surface scratches consistent with age and use, but no chips or significant damage. This object echoes the spirit of the 1960s: the glass tells a story of an era fascinated by new forms, where vibrant colors and soft lines expressed a modern lifestyle. The lemon-green hue evokes summer light filtering through leaves, while the asymmetrical outline suggests the creative freedom and experimentation characteristic of Belgian design. The piece invites touch—its cool, smooth surface and solid weight make it more than a utilitarian item: it is a sculptural keepsake from a time when glass was a medium for artistic exploration. The ashtray may be displayed on a low table or wooden sideboard, where its vibrant color will contrast beautifully with natural materials. It works well in mid-century modern settings as well as in eclectic, collector’s interiors that pair vintage glass with ceramics or metal objects. The piece could be grouped with other green or yellow accents, or positioned alongside minimalist black details to highlight its distinct silhouette. Whether in a living room, study, or as a decorative object in a hallway, it
