AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Magnificent ruby-overlay crystal ashtray, very likely from the prestigious Val Saint Lambert crystal works (Belgium), although unsigned.

This massive, elegant piece features a round form with faceted raised edges, adorned with characteristic oval and geometric cuts. The layering of intense ruby crystal over clear crystal, partially cut to reveal the transparent base, offers a refined contrast and a deep brilliance.

Dimensions :
- Height: 7 cm
- Diameter: 16 cm
- Weight: 1400 g

Condition: Good overall for an older utilitarian item. A few light scratches and small nicks on the cigarette rests (typical of past use), with no impact on the overall aesthetics. The body remains glossy and without notable chips.

A decorative and imposing piece, representative of Belgian style and craftsmanship in cut crystal with overlay from the mid-20th century, perfect for collectors of fine glassware.

Careful and insured shipping.
