Mid Century Modern Ashtray 1970s
 
A very typical design for decorative ashtrays for the home in the 1970s.
Made in the USA, many originated in California.
The shape and color scheme were used to add a depth of luxury to the home.
 
This ashtray has two areas where the glazing during the firing process did not
cover all the area on the ashtray. There is an area on the bottom and also an area
on the edge of the cigarette holding riser which looks like a brown chip but it is not.
See the two photographs # 3 & #4.
 
There is some crazing (lines) going on in the bottom of the ashtray (photo # 5)
Small burn marks on the third pivot holding area.
 
Overall, this ashtray is beautiful and a survivor and would wonderful if displayed.
 
Ashtray measures approximately 13" x 7".
