ABOUT PRODUCTID 11450
This mid-century modern ashtray from Poland, produced in the 1970s, is crafted from thick, hand-formed glass in a vivid emerald green shade with a cool undertone. The single-color design enhances the depth of the hue and allows light to reflect freely across the highly polished, mirror-like surface. The irregular, undulating edges and organic folds reveal artisanal craftsmanship, while the seamless transitions between curved sections amplify the sense of fluidity. The base is subtly flattened to ensure stability, and the ashtray is free of additional decoration, engraving, or color accents. Its condition is very good – no visible damage, cracks, or chips, with only minimal signs of age consistent with a vintage object.This piece narrates the story of late-PRL Polish art glass, a period when artisans explored freeform shapes and expressive color. Its dynamic silhouette suggests the motion of waves or petals, as if the glass were momentarily suspended between fluid and solid states. The emerald surface recalls the calm of a lake, reflecting light and evoking the era’s fascination with natural forms and organic design, which defined the 1970s aesthetic.The ashtray would suit both a mid-century modern living room and an eclectic, collector’s interior. It could be paired with simple, light wood furniture, a glass or metal console, and ceramics in neutral tones. Placing it in natural light or under a spotlight will accentuate the green depth and glassy sheen. It can serve as a standalone accent on a table, sideboard, or shelf—either with a delicate branch or on its own, highlighting its sculptural presence.
