This is an exquisite and nearly impossible-to-find matching mid-century
modern (MCM) cigar smoking set in outstanding condition.
Both pieces are cased opaline crystal with embossed gold,
gold overlay, and gold gild produced by Imperlux Crystal in Bohemia, Czechoslovakia.
The frosted glass looks almost like snowflakes with gold flecks and magnificent
gold medallions with a raised gold on gold design. Both pieces are rimmed with
gold paint.
The ashtray has three feet dipped in gold with two cut-outs and
is deep for comfortably resting your cigars.
The brass lighter was made in Japan. A single flint and wick
are already included and installed. Lighter fluid is not included. Changing out
the wick with a newer type of wicking material may make it easier to use. A
standard flat head screwdriver is needed to change flints and wicking material.
Screwdriver is not provided.
