Mid-20th Century Bohemian Cut Crystal Ashtray w/ Deep Red Overlay - 5"

A jewel-toned accent in deep cranberry, this low circular ashtray is crafted from hand-blown Bohemian crystal with a rich cranberry overlay, expertly cut back to clear. Oval thumbprint lenses encircle the body, while a radiant petal-wheel motif brightens the base. The gently faceted lower body catches the light with subtle brilliance, showcasing the region’s celebrated mastery of overlay glass and precision wheel cutting. The condition is very good, with only light surface wear consistent with age and careful use.

Graceful and lightweight in the hand, it sits beautifully on a console, dressing table, or cocktail tray, where its glowing cranberry hue and cut lenses create lively reflections. Versatile in use, it can serve as an elegant catchall for jewelry or keys, a vessel for wrapped sweets, or a cradle for a small votive, casting a soft ruby halo. A discreet yet expressive accent, it enriches both traditional and modern interiors with warmth and a note of elegant color.

Light wear.
