ABOUT PRODUCTID 36285
This large crystal ashtray from Belgium, dating from the 1960s, is crafted from high-quality cut crystal glass. Its geometric silhouette, based on a hexagonal outline and sharply faceted edges, recalls the form of a cut diamond. The clear glass, with its cool, neutral tone and glossy finish, allows light to refract and reflect across the intricate facets, producing a play of luminous highlights. The central bowl is smoothly rounded, contrasting with the angular exterior. Substantial in presence, the ashtray weighs 2.7 kg and measures 23 cm in diameter and 6 cm in height. It remains in very good condition, with only minor scratches on the underside typical for gentle use. The piece retains its original finish and features a partial paper signature from Val Saint Lambert, confirming its provenance.Within this ashtray resonates the spirit of mid-century Belgian modernism: simplicity of form, precise execution, and a focus on material quality. Its crystal walls seem to narrate an era when even everyday objects were designed with aesthetic restraint. One can almost imagine it reflecting the glow of evening lights during convivial gatherings, its facets offering a quiet dialogue between functionality and refined presence characteristic of the mid-century modern style.This piece may be displayed on a low coffee table or console in the living room, serving as a sculptural accent, particularly in interiors inspired by mid-century modern or minimalist aesthetics. It could be paired with other glass or metal accessories to emphasize its transparency and geometric outline, or used as a decorative bowl for small items. Positioned against neutral, unadorned surfaces, it can stand alone as a focal point, inviting close inspection of its material clarity and crafted form.
