Description from the seller
Gaudí Inspired Trencadís Ashtray -Modernist design – 1980s – In mint condition – No reserve.
Large decorative square ashtray or trinket dish inspired by the iconic trencadís mosaic technique associated with Antoni Gaudí and the architecture of Barcelona, Spain. This striking postmodern design piece features colorful enamel-painted geometric shard motifs in vivid cobalt blue, emerald green, golden yellow, orange, and white, outlined with bold black lines in classic mosaic style.
Executed in heavy quality frosted glass with four symmetrical cigarette rests, the piece functions equally well as an ashtray, vide-poche, catchall tray, or decorative display object. The minimalist geometric composition and Mediterranean color palette make it an attractive collectible for lovers of Spanish modernism, Memphis-inspired interiors, and Gaudí-inspired decorative arts.
Signed “Gaudi” to the center.
