Sculptural Art Glass ashtray from the famous Škrdlovice glassworks in the then Czechoslovakia, designed by Jaroslav Beránek. The model No. 5637 belongs to the "Andromeda" series and dates from 1956.

The heavy, free-formed glass body is characterized by its dynamically curved silhouette and the deep, optically flowing structures. Through the combination of clear glass and cool blue to violet tones, the object changes its effect with light incidence and viewing angle and takes on an almost liquid, sculptural appearance.

A characteristic example of experimental post-war Czechoslovak studio glass and at the same time a decorative collector's item, which, in addition to its original function as an ashtray, can also be used excellently as a vide poche or small art glass bowl.
