Sevres Freeform Crystal Ashtray | Mid-Century French Art Glass
Description
Sculptural from every angle, this heavy crystal freeform ashtray by Sevres is a beautiful example of mid-century French art glass. Its fluid, organic silhouette catches and reflects light beautifully, making it just as striking styled on a coffee table or bookshelf as it is put to use.
Originally designed as an ashtray, it also works perfectly as a catchall for jewelry, matches, keys, or wrapped candies. For candle lovers, it holds approximately 5 oz of wax, making it an ideal vessel for a custom candle pour.
Hand-sourced in Paris, this timeless piece brings a touch of French modernism to any space.
