This is a stunning example of mid-century luxury barware from the renowned Belgian glassworks, Val Saint Lambert. Crafted from heavy, high-clarity lead crystal, this ashtray features a bold hexagonal geometric silhouette. The piece is intricately cut with deep facets that catch and refract light, creating a brilliant prismatic effect.

The top rim is designed with three integrated cigarette rests, blending functionality with a clean, modernist aesthetic. The underside of the piece reveals the characteristic "ice" or "crag" like texture within the crystal structure, a testament to the quality of the hand-finished glass. This substantial piece is not only a functional accessory but a sophisticated sculptural element for a desk, coffee table, or bar.
