Experimental, organic, futuristic—these are a few words that articulate the aesthetic of the beautiful glass ashtrays crafted in Murano in the 1950s. During the boom period for mid-century modern design, smaller accessories were often employed as a vehicle for adding color, style and artistry to the home, and as smoking was a common social activity, items such as this luminous lilac ashtray could effortlessly become a conversation piece. Please note, this item is a truly original vintage piece with slight imperfections and distinctive characteristics that add to its charm and celebrate its unique history.
