About the Item

This substantial, heavy glass ashtray features a beautifully sculptural, softly contoured form and a deeply engraved monogram reading “SBI.” Crafted from thick, high-clarity glass, the piece has exceptional weight and presence, with fluid, organic edges that catch and refract light from every angle. The monogram is elegantly rendered—subtle yet unmistakably bespoke—suggesting the ashtray was originally commissioned for a private residence, club, or yacht. Its generous scale and tactile heft elevate it well beyond a utilitarian object, making it equally compelling as a decorative object or luxury tabletop accessory. This type of monogrammed glass was particularly favored in the mid-20th century, often produced for affluent households, private members’ clubs, or as corporate or celebratory commissions. Today, pieces like this are highly sought after for their association with old-money interiors, quiet luxury styling, and European-influenced entertaining. This piece was sourced from an apartment in Oklahoma City's Stockyard. The home was flanked with hand-carved walls brought in from Thailand, and furniture and accessories from around the globe. Rumor has it that the apartment was a brothel during the oil boom and perhaps even before. Details Material: Heavy clear glass Monogram: “SBI” Finish: High polish with excellent clarity Condition: Very good vintage condition with light, age-appropriate wear consistent with use Styling Ideas Style on a lacquered bar cart or vintage cocktail table alongside silver match strikers and leather-bound books Use as a decorative catchall on a desk, console, or bedside table for rings or keys Incorporate into a library, study, or gentleman’s lounge for a classic old-world feel Display atop a stack of coffee table books in a quiet, luxury, or European modern interior Perfect for homes inspired by Venice canal residences, Parisian apartments, or coastal estates This piece works beautifully in interiors that favor subtle opulence, collected antiques, and sculptural glass accents.

Val Saint Lambert Crystal Scorpio Dish or Ashtray with Etched Scorpion Motif

Val Saint Lambert Crystal Scorpio Dish or Ashtray with Etched Scorpion Motif

By Val Saint Lambert

Located in Oklahoma City, OK

A striking piece of Belgian crystal by Val Saint Lambert, featuring an elegantly acid-etched scorpion suspended within a substantial hand-finished crystal form. This sculptural dish showcases the refined craftsmanship for which Val Saint Lambert has been celebrated since the nineteenth century. The deeply polished crystal body creates a magnifying effect around the etched scorpion, allowing the motif to appear almost suspended within the glass. Equally appealing as an ashtray, catchall, candy dish, or decorative object, the piece possesses a sophisticated modernist aesthetic that feels remarkably current. The scorpion motif adds an element of symbolism and intrigue, making it especially desirable for collectors of zodiac-themed objects, desk accessories, and luxury crystal. The substantial weight and optical clarity reflect the quality associated with Val Saint Lambert's renowned Belgian crystal production. Its understated design allows it to complement both contemporary and traditional interiors. Perfect for use on a cocktail table, desk, bar, vanity, or bookshelf, where the engraved scorpion becomes a subtle conversation piece. Condition: Very good vintage condition with light surface wear consistent with age and use. No significant chips or cracks observed. Styling Ideas: • Display atop a stack of vintage art books...
