This glass ashtray from the 1960s, attributed to Miloslav Klinger for the Železný Brod glassworks, exemplifies Czech art glass design of the mid-century modern period. Crafted by hand, it is formed from colored glass in a gently translucent yellow tone, with color intensifying at the rim and fading toward the center due to varying glass thickness. The object’s organic, freeform silhouette is defined by three wide, undulating “petals”, lending it a natural, flowing character. The surface is fully glossy and smooth, highlighting the clarity and depth of the material. The bowl is broad and shallow, anchored by a solid, weighty base for stability. There are no visible joining marks or applied decorations; the elegant lines and execution are representative of 1960s Czech glass craftsmanship. The ashtray is preserved in excellent condition, with no chips, cracks or significant scratches—only the most minimal and expected signs of gentle use. This piece evokes the narrative of an era when Czech art glass set modernist trends across Europe and beyond. Its form tells of a time when designers sought a new language for everyday objects—translucent, warmly toned glass diffuses light softly, adding discreet brightness to any setting. The flowing, sculptural outline echoes natural
