A striking pair of vintage cobalt blue lead crystal ashtrays made in Poland, featuring brilliant cut-to-clear pinwheel and starburst patterns. Their rich sapphire color and sparkling cut design make them equally beautiful as traditional ashtrays, ring dishes, or decorative catchalls.
Each ashtray retains its original "Made in Poland – 24% Lead Crystal" foil label. The deeply cut crystal catches the light beautifully, making this matching pair an eye-catching addition to a vintage bar, coffee table, vanity, or display cabinet.

Collector's Notes
The deep cobalt blue color is paired with classic cut-to-clear pinwheel and starburst motifs inspired by traditional Bohemian crystal cutting. While produced in Poland, these pieces reflect the decorative style long associated with Central European crystal craftsmanship.
Although designed as ashtrays, collectors today often repurpose pieces like these as ring dishes, small catchalls, candle holders, or decorative accents for a bar cart or vanity.
