The faceted edges catch light from every angle, scattering it the way only cut crystal can, turning a functional object into something that earns a second look even when it’s not in use. Mid-century glassmakers applied this level of craft to barware and tabletop pieces as a matter of standard practice, which is why vintage crystal from this era holds up so well against anything made since. Heavy, clear, precise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e+ WHY WE CHOSE IT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause a faceted crystal triangle ashtray is a more specific and considered object than a round one. Because mid-century cut crystal at this quality level is increasingly hard to find. Because geometry is also a design decision, and this one made the right one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e+ ABOUT THIS PIECE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne available.
