Ashtray M. Klinger, Železný Brod, Czech Republic, 1960s

Unique artistic ashtray, designed by Miloslav Klinger for Železný Brod Sklo in the 1960s. Handcrafted from thick glass in a beautiful light yellow hue, its distinctive organic shape, with fluid lines and dynamic light play, is emblematic of Czech design from that era. Klinger, one of the greatest designers of functional glassware at ŽBS, was known for his experimental forms and perfect sense of proportion; this piece wonderfully illustrates his style. Ideal as a decorative element in a mid-century modern interior or within a collection of Czech glassware. Dimensions: height approx. 5 cm | diameter approx. 15 cm. Condition: very good, no damage. Origin: Železný Brod, Czech Republic. Designer: Miloslav Klinger.
