This is a very special set od ashtrays designed by Lütken for the AKUA series, although it's also to be found in SMOKE gray.
They both are heavy pieces as they have thick walls. The small one has a diameter of 13 cm whereas ythe big one reaches 18 cms. You can imagine how heavy it can by! I love the fact that the ash-hole (LOL) isn't centered, what makes possible the thick glass wall at one side that it's the place you always hold it from.
