ABOUT PRODUCTID 10697
This ashtray from the 1940s, designed by Vicke Lindstrand for the Swedish glassworks Orrefors, is part of the "Stella Polaris" series. Crafted entirely from thick, transparent glass with a subtle icy blue tint, it features a minimalist form devoid of any additional ornamentation or engraving. Its organic shape, marked by rounded, petal-like protrusions around the rim, evokes the image of an open flower—a hallmark of Scandinavian modernism from the mid-20th century. The polished glass surface reflects light beautifully, and the seamless construction with a flat base ensures stability in use. The ashtray measures 16 cm in diameter and 6 cm in height, with the designer’s signature visible on the underside. The condition is described as excellent—free of chips, cracks, or signs of wear. The glass captures the cool clarity of the North, as if preserving a fragment of a Swedish lake bathed in morning light. Its form tells the story of an era when simplicity and natural inspiration offered a counterpoint to the industrial realities of the 1940s. It is an object that might whisper of quiet evenings by the fireplace, of gatherings where everyday items became small works of art. The ashtray could be displayed on a low coffee table made of wood or stone, where its glass form creates a subtle contrast with natural materials. It pairs well with other objects featuring fluid lines—such as 1950s vases or a ceramic bowl—as well as with simple, minimalist decorations in a cool palette. Interiors with a mid-century modern or contemporary Scandinavian minimalist spirit will bring out its serene, sculptural presence.
