VINTAGE MARKED DELFT HAND PAINTED ASHTRAY |
| THIS IS A NICE OLDER SQUARE ASHTRAY APRX 3 3/8" X 3 3/8" WITH A BLUE UNDERGLAZE. IT READS ON THE BOTTOM - DELFTS HANDPAINTED HOLLAND. THERE IS A METAL FLIP-ATTACHMENT CIGARETTE HOLDER ON THE SIDE THAT READS - CIGARETTE CHAPERONE. IT ALSO READS - U.S. PAT 2,612,174 CAN PAT. 492,913. THAT U.S. PATENT IS FROM 1952 AND THIS ITEM CAME FROM THE ESTATE OF AN ELDERLY PERSON THAT HAD A HOUSEFUL OF 50s KNICK-KNACKS, SO MIGHT EASILY BE OF THAT VINTAGE. I SEE A LITTLE AGE CRAZING BUT NO CHIPS OR CRACKS AND THE GLAZE IS STILL GLOSSY AND CLEAR. |
