Pattern: Club Shaped Ashtray - Neoclassical Greek Mythology Figures, Dated
Made in England
Vintage: 1964
Details: This ashtray needs no introduction, it is the timeless pattern from Wedgwood called Jasperware. Jasperware was made in several colors including Cobalt Blue, Lavender, Green and perhaps others, this powdery blue is the most popular with collectors. The ashtray border is decorated with grape vines & grape clusters and there are three Neoclassical Greek Mythology figures in the center. Never put these in the dishwasher, hand wash only. This is a cigarette ashtray and has 1 indentation, meant for one person's use. This piece is part of a collection of four ashtrays, each shaped in a different playing card suit: Heart, Spade, Club and Diamond. They were made in the 1960's, a time when cigarette smoking was considered elegant and would have been very appropriate to provide each player their own ashtray while at a card table. This piece is stamped on the bottom: "Wedgwood, Made in England". There are also letters and numbers stamped on the clay, look like "'64" and "DB". These pieces are great collectibles, perfect with blue and white decor, they look lovely when several are displayed together on a wall or shelf.
