High quality antique crystal ashtray in blood red cut to clear.

Classy ashtray for your fancy butts. Quality crystal of yesteryear hand-cut with polished rim. Circa estimated 1920’s. Probably Bohemian, made in what is now called Czech Republic.

Made by rolling a layer of very dark red crystal over a layer of colorless crystal, then cutting out the red in the pattern, leaving colorless crystal beneath. Hand-made back in the day of luxury.

Measures 4½ round, perfect for a little smoke. Makes a beautiful candleholder or catch-all when not in ash service.

In excellent condition.
