Description
Set of two art deco ashtrays from the late 1930’s.
Both in excellent condition. Shine like new. About 70 years old. Marked with the H within a diamond on center of each base.
Ridgeleigh pattern #1469, made between 1936 – 1940 by A. H. Heisey, a very upscale glass manufacturer of the past.
Deep ashtrays fit comfortably in palm of hand. Measure 3″ wide, 1.5″ tall. Each ashtray has two rests, 3/4″ wide. Will accommodate cigars.
These antique ashtrays glow yellow under black light. There is manganese in the glass (used in the old days to strengthen glass). Manganese will cause the colorless glass to turn purple if left in direct sunlight for a considerable amount of time.
