    Any information on this glass ashtray? 4" long, and I've never seen the mark on the bottom before. "MADE IN U.S.A." is also on the bottom.
    I'm hoping this isn't a newer piece from "The Dollar Store" :nailbiting:

    Thanks Cheryl!

    It looks to have some opalescence in it? If you hold it up to the sunlight, can you see some "gold-pink" color through the glass on the edge?

    Oh yeah, actually it is like an iridescent reddish orange along the edges.

    I have the same one. Good work with the photos. It is hard to get the flying crow that is on the back.

    @Rayo56 - You can easily photograph the edge "shine" - it looks good in pictures.
    Take it out into the sunlight, hold it up with one hand and shoot! ;)

    I find it's a good scale reference to have a hand in the picture too!

    I wish I could - Sun don't shine much during the winter time in Ohio! :(

    If you want to do scale, I put a penny next to an item. I sell only to USA so it gives those folks a size idea.
    I wish mine looked that good when I tried to take a photo.I would say your pics are very well done for such a teeny item with an even teenier mark.

    For the close up I have a small microscope that takes pictures that are sent right to the computer picture program.
