WEDGWOOD JASPERWARE ASHTRAY
Crafted in the United Kingdom during the 1960s, this Wedgwood Jasperware rarer square shaped ash tray boasts a classic pale blue base adorned with a white cameo. The ash tray measures 8.5 cm square and is 2 cm deep, providing a functional yet decorative piece for your home. Wedgwood origins trace back to the late 18th century, with the distinctive blue and white color scheme emblematic of the Wedgwood company.
The item features a delightful leaf and branch pattern that is printed onto the stoneware ceramic material, ensuring each piece is unique. While it is not handmade, the care taken in its production is evident in the clear glaze finish and the raised white cameo design. This original piece, with its printed and impressed backstamp and Wedgwood name, is a testament to the timeless style and quality of Wedgwood's craftsmanship.
This square ashtray appears to be a bit rarer than the standard round ashtray. It has two cigarette rests. Date of manufacture is my estimate, mainly based on its lovely as new condition.
