About the Item

This elegant ashtray from Karel Zemek’s renowned Niagara collection showcases the designer’s signature mastery of form and color. The freeform design is inspired by the fluid movement of cascading water, featuring sweeping curves and an organic silhouette. Crafted from hand-blown glass, this piece harmoniously blends rich cobalt blue and warm amber tones, creating a captivating interplay of light and color. Functional yet artistic, it serves as both a practical accessory and a statement piece for your home or office. The Niagara collection, designed by Karel Zemek in the 1950s and 1960s, is a celebrated series of Bohemian art glass pieces produced by the Mstišov Glassworks in Czechoslovakia. This collection is renowned for its organic, freeform designs that capture the dynamic movement of cascading water, reminiscent of the powerful Niagara Falls. Each piece in the Niagara series is handcrafted using traditional glassblowing techniques, showcasing a harmonious blend of colors—typically deep cobalt blues and warm amber hues—that interact beautifully with light. The collection includes a variety of items such as vases, bowls, and ashtrays, all characterized by their fluid shapes and vibrant color combinations. The Mstišov Glassworks, where these pieces were initially produced, ceased operations in 1964 due to industrial expansion. Subsequently, the designs and production were transferred to the renowned Moser Glassworks in Karlovy Vary, ensuring the continuation of this exquisite glassmaking tradition.
