LATE 20TH CENTURY FROSTED CRYSTAL ASHTRAY, FRANCE, POST-1978
Lead crystal;
This elegant 'Jamaique' pattern ashtray serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of René Lalique’s Art Deco mastery. Originally conceived in 1928, the design features a rhythmic, circular arrangement of overlapping tropical fronds, expertly realized in a sophisticated interplay of clear and frosted crystal. The textured foliage creates a tactile, three-dimensional relief that captures and diffuses light with remarkable depth. Bearing the post-1978 script signature with the registered trademark symbol, this piece represents a contemporary iteration of the iconic pattern, maintaining the rigorous artisanal standards of the Lalique glassworks in Wingen-sur-Moder.
