I don’t know if this is an ashtray or just a decorative piece or dish. It is on the larger side for an ashtray, I think, but it appears to have the cigarette holder grooves on the lip of it.
In any case it would look beautiful displayed on a table or shelf.
The color scheme is very attractive, and classy looking.
This would be a great gift for a dog lover.
There are no maker marks at all on the dish.
It has a nice weight to it, and is well made.
There is a short piece of wire visible on the neck of the main dog, and on the last puppy, and what I was told was that the wires were probably used to hold a chain connecting the dogs, as was popular in the fifties and sixties.
This piece measures approximately 9 inches by 6 inches.
There are some light surface cracks in the glaze of the dish. There are also some areas where the glaze has light wear and is cloudy.
The piece would benefit from a cleaning, as there is some dirt and residue present, especially around the base of the dogs, that could possibly be removed with the proper cleaning formula.
I see no chips in this piece.
The main dog has two vertical lines, one on each side of it. They look like they were part of the manufacturing of the dog, and could possibly be a manufacturing flaw, although not a very noticeable one.
This item does not look as if it were ever used to hold ashes.
