This ice glass ashtray or dish, produced by the Swedish glassworks Pukeberg in the 1970s, exemplifies Scandinavian utility design of the mid-century modern era. Crafted from thick, transparent glass with a pronounced icy texture inspired by natural ice formations, the piece features a matte, frosted exterior and a subtly smoother interior. The circular form and vertical, rounded protrusions around the rim create a sculptural, architectural silhouette. Its compact proportions and solid presence are defined by a diameter of approximately 11 cm and a height of about 4.5 cm. There are no visible signs of damage, chips, or cracks—the ashtray is preserved in excellent vintage condition, showing only minimal wear consistent with age. This glass form echoes the voice of northern landscapes, where light refracts through ice. The piece seems to whisper of Swedish winters: its cool, slightly bluish tone and crystalline structure evoke frozen lakes and tranquil, minimalist interiors. Each touch reveals its organic inspiration—the tactile surface invites a pause, allowing one to sense both the weight and chill of an era that valued simplicity and the artistry of handcraft. The dish can serve as an ashtray, a tray for small items, or a singular decorative accent on a table or sideboard. It will suit Scandinavian and mid-century modern interiors, or combine well with natural wood, matte metals, or raw ceramics. Pairing it with soft textiles or minimalist glassware highlights the contrast of textures. Subtle plays of light across the frosted surface bring out its icy character, especially in bright, neutral spaces. The listed price applies to one piece.
