This ashtray from the 1960s is a testament to Italian design, where pressed glass assumes the role of a geometric sculpture. The pentagonal form, with its thick walls and sharply defined edges, is crafted from a single block of semi-transparent salmon-pink glass with a subtle amber undertone. The exterior is adorned with horizontal ribbing that creates a rhythmic texture and enhances the play of light and shadow across the surface, while the interior remains smooth and glossy. The proportions are balanced: a low, wide vessel with a generous opening, uniting practicality with decorative presence. The piece dialogues with both Art Deco and mid-century modern styles, blending symmetry and linearity with a bold, modern contour. The condition is very good: only minor surface scratches typical of vintage glass are present, with no chips, cracks, or significant wear, and the original finish remains intact.This ashtray carries the voice of 1960s Italian modernism—a time when glass became a medium for light and color. Its salmon hue diffuses light with gentle warmth, and the ribbed walls suggest subtle movement. The form recalls postwar explorations of new proportions and sculptural expression, where even everyday objects became vehicles of aesthetic narrative. It stands as a witness to salon gatherings
