Product description
Made in Italy in the 1970s, this solid blue crystal ashtray represents one of the most sophisticated expressions of material and luminous experimentation that defines the Italian identity of the period. Carved from a single block of crystal, the piece reveals an exceptional level of precision in cutting and polishing: the oblique facets and triangular profiles create a dynamic geometry that captures and refracts light with varying intensity. This language, rigorous and sensual at the same time, is fully inspired by the Fontana Arte tradition. The aquamarine hue of the crystal, clear and deep, enhances the sense of optical lightness and structural transparency, in perfect continuity with the style and aesthetic vision of Max Ingrand. In excellent condition, with minimal signs of use, as per age.
