This rectangular crystal ashtray, crafted from hand-cut clear crystal by the Bohemia glassworks in Czechoslovakia, exemplifies modernist design from the late 1960s and 1970s. The piece is defined by its geometric clarity and substantial presence: an elongated, heavy block measuring approximately 21 cm in length, 8 cm in width, and 3.5 cm in height. The thick, faceted walls display precisely beveled, multi-angled surfaces that refract and scatter light, creating a brilliant interplay of reflections. The top features a symmetrical, shallow oval depression intended for ash or small objects, and its high-gloss, mirror-like polish further enhances the inherent luminosity of lead crystal. There are no additional decorative motifs, color accents, or engravings—this is a purely formal, minimalist object that derives its expressive character solely from light, geometry, and material. The piece is in very good condition, with no chips, cracks, or visible signs of wear; edges and surfaces remain crisp and clean. This ashtray speaks with the voice of Central European modernism. Its clear crystal, precise hand-cutting, and sharp geometry evoke the design ethos of the 1970s, a period when form and function were deeply intertwined. The object seems to recall an era when every utilitarian detail was conceived as both practical and noble. Each facet catches the light like the surface of water—crystal “animates” the setting with subtle, shifting reflections. It could be displayed atop a mid-century low console or coffee table, the strict lines emphasizing its geometric presence. It
