Daum Glass Mid-Century Crystal Ashtray — Signed, 1960s–70s

Elegant French Crystal Design

This striking Daum Glass ashtray dates from the 1960s/70s, a period known for bold yet fluid mid-century design. Crafted from clear crystal, it features a free-flowing form that plays beautifully with the light, making it as much a decorative sculpture as a functional piece.

Signed and Authentic

The side of the ashtray carries the etched signature “Daum France”, confirming its authenticity. Daum is one of the most respected French glassmakers, producing fine crystal works since the late 19th century. Pieces signed in this way are especially sought after by collectors of Daum Glass.
