Its square shape with rounded corners and very thick walls gives it a particularly decorative character. Layers of intense amber, golden yellow, and brown glass are encased in a transparent glass body, creating a beautiful, three-dimensional optical effect.

The ashtray is also exceptionally appealing as a decorative object—it can be used as a small bowl, a container for small items, or a vintage collectible.
