1970s Fontana Arte Style Smoking Set Murano Glass Ashtray Lighter, Cobalt Blue

Description

An elegant Italian smoking set from the 1970s, crafted from cobalt blue Murano glass and chrome-plated metal in the refined style of Fontana Arte. The set comprises a square ashtray, a spherical lighter, and a long, sinuous chrome element that completes the composition.

The ashtray features a solid, sculptural, square shape, crafted from thick glass with a gently curved profile. The cobalt blue creates depth, transparency, and beautiful light reflections, making the piece highly decorative even when not in use. The chrome-plated metal stem adds a modern, brilliant touch characteristic of 1970s Italian design.

A particularly interesting feature is the lighter, which is decorated with a sandblasted globe motif. The decoration is not merely visual but also tactile: the design of the globe creates a slightly satin-like, textured surface that can be felt to the touch. The contrast between the smooth cobalt blue glass and the sandblasted detail gives the lighter a rare, refined, and highly striking character.

This is a piece of “new old stock” in excellent condition, ideal as a vintage smoking set, bar accessory, desk item, tabletop decoration, or collector’s piece. It is perfect for Mid-Century Modern, Space Age, Fontana Arte-style, Italian vintage, or eclectic interiors.

Dimensions: ashtray 13 cm width x 13 cm depth x 4 cm height; lighter 7 cm diameter; rod 26 cm length x 6 cm width.
