Monumental Czech Moser ashtray made of hand-cut crystal.

Exceptional monumental Moser ashtray, originating from the Czech Republic, made in the second half of the 20th century. Moser glassware is known worldwide as the "crystal of kings, " due to its historical relationship as the exclusive supplier to various royal courts and elites (such as Emperor Franz Joseph I and King Edward VII). This ashtray is a geometric sculpture made of high-quality pure crystal, mouth-blown and hand-cut, embodying the technical and aesthetic sophistication of mid-20th century Bohemian glassmaking, a testament to the craftsmanship of Karlovy Vary. It features a base carved in the shape of a wedge or diamond point that elevates the main body, creating a play of light refractions that seem to defy gravity. It is a piece of extraordinary density, weighing nearly 2 kilograms, which gives it stability and an absolute sense of tactile luxury. The piece retains the Moser acid-etched mark on the base, guaranteeing its origin from the historic factory in Karlovy Vary. A coveted item for collectors of Czech crystal and high-end design pieces, as well as for exclusive gifts. Dimensions: 15 cm in diameter and 6 cm in height. Weight: 1842 grams. It will be shipped in careful and secure packaging.
