AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Amber-crystal ashtray incised with three female figures – Art Deco style
Elegant and unusual ashtray in heavy amber-colored glass, with a circular, domed shape, adorned with deep geometric facets and decorative cuts that enhance the transparency and brilliance of the material.
The most distinctive feature is the decoration on the external base, composed of three female figures in period dresses, finely incised with a satin-like effect. The details of the garments and hairstyles stand out against the amber background, creating a refined contrast with the transparent and frosted surfaces.
Probably Bohemian-area manufacture, of great refinement.
Excellent overall condition.
Seller's Story
My name is Riccardo. I recently graduated in Art History from the University of Florence and I am passionate about porcelain. From tableware to artistic vases, from figurines to tea and coffee sets, I am fascinated by the mastery and creativity of great artisans and designers who manage to shape this fragile material, transforming a rough mass into masterpieces with a story to tell. During my years at university I began to become interested in the history of nineteenth- and twentieth-century tableware; today, every day, I deal with prestigious porcelain pieces that always have something to say to me and to those who purchase them. I love that every day I can discover more about the objects I find while traveling around Italy, always learning something new. I always try to convey to my clients this passion I have for the objects I sell, certain that each of them has a story to tell: that of the creator, that of the one who preserved it, and that of the person who will give it a new life.
