This metal cigarette dispenser, manufactured in 1950s Czechoslovakia, exemplifies considered utilitarian design from the industrial mid-century movement. Constructed from sturdy, cool-toned silver metal, its surface is finished in a matte sheen that subtly highlights the gentle patina consistent with aged but well-preserved steel. Decorative features include embossed rows of small raised dots arranged in flowing, organic patterns on the upper and lower sections, providing visual rhythm. These are interrupted by incised horizontal lines along the central band, all gathered into a rectilinear form with rounded corners—reflecting post-war industrial functionality with a nuanced decorative accent. The lower section incorporates a practical slot with a beige (possibly linen) band designed for efficiently dispensing or rolling cigarettes. The original 'RYNA' mark confirms authenticity, and all structural components, including the rivets and fabric, are intact. The dispenser is preserved in excellent original condition, exhibiting only a gentle age-consistent patina and minor surface marks, with no evidence of restoration.The form and surface detail evoke the utilitarian optimism of the postwar years—a period when design harmonized function with discreet decorative flair, even in everyday
