In 1954, Dave Thomas at Stangl designed a number of
cigarette related pieces. This ashtray
is one of those pieces. He created the marbled
swirling design in the clay body, a design that was short lived. It is a bit of modern art from the
1950s. There are blues, whites and slate
grays in this piece. The glaze is
clear. All of the color is in the clay
body. This ashtray is about 3 inches
across.
I do not usually buy ashtrays, but a Stangl every time. This modern art design is from the 1950s and predates the psychedelic era.
