Astra ultra mod vintage Viking ashtray

Space-age Viking hand-made glass ashtray - scarce.

Hand-made by  Viking Art Glass  in the 1950s to early 1960s.  Many decor items in this race to space period were made in what was then considered 'futuristic' forms.  The 'Astra' is rarely seen today. Big 11" long ashtray.  Yesteryear's ashtrays were often focal points of the room's decor. Great for the coffee table.  Use as a catch-all or candleholder (remove metal from modern candles before burning in vintage glass) when not in ash service.  Amber glass goes with all color schemes.  Measures 11" x 5", 1.25" tall. Molded glass with hand finished free-style rests.  Glass was made with hand-mixed recipes and organic burning furnaces in the old days.  This ashtray bears the proof as it has a couple of ash inclusions shown in image 4.  In excellent, original condition.
