Vintage Safex Clear Glass Ashtray Octagon Mid Century Modern Art Deco 5" Heavy
Up for sale is a beautiful mid-century vintage clear glass octagonal ashtray made by Safex. Known for their heavy-duty craftsmanship and timeless geometric designs, this piece is a perfect example of retro tobacco culture and mid-century modern (MCM) functional art.
It features a thick, solid-pressed clear glass body with a multi-slotted design—offering 8 cigarette rests (4 on each side) and distinct deep interior ridges. On the bottom, the authentic "SAFEX" maker's mark is crisply embossed into the center of the glass.
While traditionally used as an ashtray, its striking geometric design makes it a versatile decor item, perfect as a catchall tray for keys, a jewelry trinket dish on a vanity, or a handsome masculine accent for a man cave, office, or bar.
