{"product_id":"mid-century-amber-art-glass-biomorphic-ashtray","title":"Mid-Century Amber Art Glass Biomorphic Ashtray — Hand-Blown, c.1960s–1970s","description":"\u003cp\u003eSome vintage objects are beautiful because they were never trying to be anything else. This heavy amber art-glass ashtray has the kind of fluid, sculptural presence usually associated with gallery objects — a warm citrine-honey colour, sweeping organic curves and a surface that catches the light from every angle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHand-blown and hand-shaped during the mid-century period, it is a freeform piece with thick, chunky walls, intentionally trapped micro-bubbles and a deeply polished pontil base. Originally made as a piece of tobacciana, it works just as beautifully today as a decorative dish, jewellery catcher or small sculptural accent — perfect for a coffee table, bedside table or carefully layered shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe maker and country of origin are unconfirmed, so this piece is offered honestly as unattributed mid-century art glass rather than being assigned a speculative Murano, Canadian, Scandinavian or Bohemian attribution. Its value is in the form, colour, weight and workmanship — all the things that make hand-shaped vintage glass so satisfying to live with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Organic biomorphic ashtray \/ freeform sculptural dish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e Circa 1960s–1970s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pale amber \/ warm citrine honey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16.5cm x 10cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8.5cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 795g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-blown and hand-shaped art glass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e Controlled micro-bubbles and smooth, polished pontil base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unconfirmed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExcellent vintage condition overall. The glass is clear and bright, with no visible ash residue, scorch marks or internal staining. There is one visible surface scratch to the glass, documented in the close-up photograph. The polished pontil base is flat and has minimal shelf wear. A small amount of fine glass particulate or residue is visible around the flat pontil area from inside the ashtray, likely a minor manufacturing remnant. The trapped bubbles are an intentional and characteristic feature of the glass rather than damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe photographs form part of the condition report — please review all images carefully before purchasing.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCare\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDisplay or decorative use recommended.
