Bohemian Art Glass Ashtray in Red & Orange

Massive Bohemian Art Glass ashtray from the mid-20th century, executed in intensely bright red, orange, and amber tones. The heavy glass body is free and organically modeled, with deeply recessed shelves and a strongly shaped edge.

The interplay of the different color layers is particularly impressive: strong red transitions to warm orange and is framed by clear glass. The strong wall thickness creates intense reflections and an almost glowing color effect in the light. The bulky, sculptural form is characteristic of the experimental Bohemian art glass of the 1960s.

A striking mid-century object that, in addition to its original use as an ashtray, also functions excellently as a vide poche, small bowl, or standalone glass object.
