Made in Italy in the 1970s, this solid blue crystal ashtray represents one of the most sophisticated expressions of the material and luminous research that defined the Italian identity of the period.
Sculpted from a single block of crystal, the object reveals cutting and smoothing work of extraordinary precision: the oblique facets and triangular profiles create a dynamic geometry that captures and refracts light with changing intensity.
This language, rigorous and at the same time sensual, is fully inspired by the Fontana Arte tradition.
The crystal's aquamarine hue, clear and deep, accentuates the feeling of optical lightness and structural transparency, in perfect continuity with Max Ingrand's style and aesthetic vision.
In excellent condition, with minimal traces of use compatible with age.
