ABOUT PRODUCTID 34940
This crystal ashtray from Belgium, dating to the 1960s, exemplifies the refined craftsmanship of the Mid Century Modern era. Made of thick, heavy crystal glass, it features a clear, cool-toned body with pronounced geometric facets and deep sculpted grooves around its sides. The round, low-profile form is highlighted by a highly polished, almost mirror-like surface that plays with light and shadow. Three evenly spaced notches on the rim serve as rests for cigarettes or cigars. The overall proportions are harmonious and balanced, lending the ashtray a sense of solid, decorative presence. No additional materials or metal fittings are present. The piece is preserved in very good condition, showing only minimal, nearly invisible surface scratches and no chips or significant signs of wear. It has been delicately refreshed while retaining its original character and authenticity. This ashtray carries the voice of the 1960s, when Belgian design merged functionality with purity of form. The crystal mass takes on a sculptural quality, reflecting light and surroundings like a sheet of water. Each facet tells a story of appreciation for structure and clarity, while the weight and transparency evoke memories of elegant gatherings and everyday rituals. It is an object that preserves the spirit of an era when even ordinary accessories were a conscious aesthetic choice. This ashtray may serve as a functional accent in a classic living room or as a decorative object on a console or sideboard within a mid-century modern arrangement. It can be paired with Murano glass, heavier ceramics, or minimalist metal accessories to emphasize its geometric silhouette. It will also work as a collectible element in eclectic interiors, where the transparency and heft of crystal introduce visual rhythm
