Vtg Art Deco 1930s Agate Swirl Glass Ashtray Vidrio Products Corp Brown & Ivory

Description

You're bidding on a cool, vintage Art Deco period ashtray  - 6" long, 4" wide and about 1" thick - unmarked, but known to be a design of Vidrio Products Corp, Cicero, Illinois. Vidrio produced lamp bases, ashtrays and many other consumer products, mostly in agate glass, from about 1929-1936. Although short lived, they produced a number of items of high quality that are frequently mistaken for bigger, better known competitors like Houze & Akro.
This piece is nice, brown & sort of ivory slag type swirling color, with Deco period style. There's a round platform above the tray that was actually meant to hold a lighter that Vidrio produced - at 2 1/8" diameter, it would make a great seat for a shot glass or small footed cocktail glass. Piece is in very good condition, clean with no chips or cracks.
Please review photos carefully to make your own determination of overall condition and appeal and don't hesitate to ask any questions prior to bidding - thanks for looking!
