This aqua blue glass ashtray was designed by Per Lütken and produced at Holmegaard, the great Danish glass company. Part of the Akva series, which remained in production from 1953 to 1974, this ashtray (or bowl if you’re not a smoker) is hand-blown glass, in fantastic shape, and a perfect example of Danish modern design.

From the collection of the New Bedford Museum of Glass in Massachusetts.
