This item is listed as a stunning
BACCARAT© Lead
Crystal “Cadix” Ashtray
with engraved signing. Produced in Levallois Perret,
France, it retails for $250. To me it really doesn't
have the appearance of an ashtray as much as it does
a crystal candy or nut dish. Or use it on your desk
as a paperweight holding paper clips or rubber bands,
as a convenient spot to place a wet tea bag, or as
a holder for several dry tea bags. Or even use it
as an elegant candle holder. It really does have a
versatility of uses. So while it could be
used as an ashtray, the sky's the limit as far as
other practical uses this BACCARAT©
piece could be used for.
This item measures 6¾”
X 5” wide and 2” high, and it has 8 sides.
In order to examine it in greater detail, please be
sure to click on each image to see its enlargement,
which I've made quite large to allow close examination
of this piece.
This item has never been used or displayed and, consequently,
is in absolutely mint condition. It comes in its original
box with foam packing. It has been stored and remained
unopened for years in a temperature-controlled, non-smoking
environment. Opening the box to photograph it is only
the second time this item has been removed from its
foam packing.
This piece is complimented
by the delicate formation of smooth, sensual, fluid
lines coupled with a clear, sparkling crystal body.
The excellent craftsmanship of this piece embodies
its true versatility, and the BACCARAT©
name is the epitome of crystal craftsmanship and quality.
Having it displayed in an illuminated collector's
cabinet would also be truly stunning. It would make
a spectacular addition to any home, in daily use or
particularly during holidays or special occasions.
