Murano Glass Lighter And Ashtray For Sale on 1stDibs
Find many varieties of an authentic murano glass lighter and ashtray available at 1stDibs. A murano glass lighter and ashtray — often made from glass, crystal and stone — can elevate any home. You’ve searched high and low for the perfect murano glass lighter and ashtray — we have versions that date back to the 20th Century alongside those produced as recently as the 20th Century are available. A murano glass lighter and ashtray made by Hollywood Regency designers — as well as those associated with mid-century modern — is very popular. You’ll likely find more than one murano glass lighter and ashtray that is appealing in its simplicity, but Cristallerie Antonio Imperatore and Giulio Radi produced versions that are worth a look.
How Much is a Murano Glass Lighter And Ashtray?
The average selling price for a murano glass lighter and ashtray at 1stDibs is $906, while they’re typically $150 on the low end and $3,200 for the highest priced.
Finding the Right Ashtrays for You
Once a near-universal tabletop accessory, many antique, new and vintage ashtrays have taken on an entirely new purpose in today’s homes.
Whereas these formerly ubiquitous objects were associated with smoking, drinking, gambling and other vices, a well-designed and interesting ashtray is a candy dish, coaster or cocktail garnish receptacle in today’s interiors. But don’t discount its initial function. Amid your carefully curated coastal chic California decor, for example, a stone ashtray can help you manage the ashes that accumulate while you’re burning your morning incense. Old glass ashtrays, which are quite popular and easily found in free-form, organic shapes, can be a purely decorative final touch when styling a coffee table, whether you’ve filled it with wrapped lemon-drop candies or not.
In the postwar years, the democratization of luxury led to an explosion in the number of well-designed ashtrays, and there are many mid-century modern ashtrays to choose from on 1stDibs. (It’s no coincidence that sculptor Isamu Noguchi devised his “Dymaxion” version, which he hoped would make him rich, in 1945. Alas, it turned out to be too difficult to mass-produce.) The design collection of the Museum of Modern Art includes ashtrays by Carlo Scarpa (Murano glass, 1950–59); Achille Castiglioni (stainless steel with spring-like inserts, 1970); Masayuki Kurokawa (rubber and steel, 1973) and more. Smoking declined in popularity in the 1970s and ’80s, after the surgeon general’s warning began appearing on cigarette packs, but designers were still crafting ashtrays through the end of the century (especially outside the United States).
On 1stDibs, browse a collection of antique, new and vintage ashtrays that includes everything from modern and minimalist cigar ashtrays to outwardly ornate Art Deco ashtrays that evoke the opulence and elegance of the 1920s.
