[QUOTE="Figtree3, post: 535, member: 33"]All, I'm sure that some you remember my milk glass thread from a few months ago on the old Antiques Board (yes, I'm calling it the "old" board now). Yesterday I attended a garage sale that was the sale of possessions/estate of a woman who died at the age of 99. I made it on only the 3rd day of the sale, so there was nothing really great left, but still lots and lots of stuff. I can only imagine what it would have been like at the beginning! Anyway, here is a small milk glass trinket dish I purchased. It measures 4" across. It's not all that old, but I like the smooth and silky feel of the glass. People are selling these online as ashtrays. But the indentations in the top are so minor, I'm really wondering if they were intended for that. Apparently the two sizes might have been a set. At least, one person is selling them on Etsy as such. Do you think this is an ashtray, or trinket dish? Any ideas as to age? [ATTACH=full]49[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]50[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
