Vintage Transylvania Ashtray Dish Cobalt Art Glass Hand Painted Bohemian Signed

This small glass ashtray / trinket dish measures approximately 3.75\" square x 1.5\" high and weighs 8.5oz.

Beautifully translucent cobalt glass especially when the light hits it.Do not put in dishwasher - wipe clean with a damp cloth / paper towel.

This is at least 22 years old but was never used. Please see the provenance explanation below.

This style of glass art was a manifest againstconformismto symmetry and perfection in the plastic arts.As such, it flaunted the use of complete free form and imperfect details as testimony tothe artist\'s freedom of expression, and tothe uniqueness and imperfection of hand crafted work as it reflects the brutalism of naturally organic shapes.

It has its own measure of charm and beauty - and certainly, uniqueness. For that reason, it could make a special gift.

**** About the provenance of this item ****

This item is part of a group of hand made textiles, hand carved wood, hand blown glass, and hand made ceramics that was acquired about 23 years ago from Romania (most from the Transylvania region) for a store our family operated in Ohio. Eventually, the store closed, and all remaining merchandise ended up boxed up in storage in a relative\'s climate controlled warehouse, until our store received them just recently. While we may have more than just one piece of a certain style, for the most part: 1. they will be only a few at best; 2. each of them will be unique; 3. once they are gone they cannot be replenished. All these items reflect, one way or another, some aspect of the Romanian cultural heritage - and its appreciation for the creativity, uniqueness, imperfections and charm of hand crafted wares over the monotony and volumes of the assembly lines.
