The heavy Pukeberg ashtray from the 1970s is an example of Swedish modernist design, crafted from thick, clear glass with a cool, colorless tone. Its geometric form, featuring evenly spaced, rounded protrusions along the rim, evokes the natural structure of ice. The interior boasts a distinct, frosted texture, while the outer edge and sides are smooth and glossy, creating a striking contrast between rawness and clarity. The proportions are robust and stable, emphasizing the object’s solidity and durability. The glass is free from chips or cracks and shows no visible signs of use—remaining in excellent vintage condition. Though silent, the ashtray tells of an era when Scandinavian craftsmanship and design drew inspiration from nature, capturing the essence of northern landscapes in glass. Its austere form is both decorative and utilitarian, the coolness of the material reminiscent of ice sheets lit by northern light. The rhythmic protrusions and substantial weight pay tribute to the simplicity and functionality that defined Scandinavian modernism of the late 1960s and 1970s. The ashtray can be displayed on a low wooden or marble table, where it will contrast with the organic texture of the surface. It pairs well with minimalist mid-century modern interiors and with collector’s spaces that combine glass, metal, and natural materials. It is worth arranging alongside other pared-down objects—a ceramic bowl, a simple candle, or an unadorned sculpture—to highlight its sculptural quality. The listed price refers to one piece.
