Mid-Century Modern Blue Hand-Cut Crystal Table Lighter and Ashtray Set

Story

The 1960s ushered in an era where the coffee table became the curated center of the American home, and nothing signaled sophistication like a heavy, jewel-toned crystal set.

Maker / Origin

The stylized 'K' on the foil label points toward the elite glass houses of mid-century Japan, such as Kurata or Kamei, which specialized in 'heavy' crystal.

Condition & Value

The crystal appears remarkably crisp with no significant 'flea bites' or chips on the sharp geometric edges, which are common points of failure for this style. Value is driven by the vibrant blue color—which is more desirable than clear or amber—and the fact that it is a complete, matched set.
