Bubble blown glass ashtray by Nybro Sweden

Magnificent solid blown glass ashtray from the Swedish manufacturer Nybro, dating from the 1970s.

Made by Nybro Glasbruk, a glassworks founded in 1935 and renowned for its artisanal work in artistic glass, this rare model is a testament to Scandinavian expertise in the art of molded and blown glass.
