Antique hand-cut high-quality colored Bohemian crystal ashtray.
This beautiful relic was made of fine quality crystal and looks like a brilliant pink sapphire. It was cut and polished by hand. Produced in the late 1920s to mid 1930s.

While in Paris, Hoffmann met a gentlemen named Rene Lalique (today Lalique’s art glass sells at the extreme high-end). Hoffmann’s association with Lalique influenced his jewel-like crystal forms and other glass works.
