Description

This unusual marigold ashtray with eight beetles surrounding a central medallion is from the Argentinean glass company Cristalerias Rigolleau of Buenos Aires.

Known as the Beetle Ashtray, it measures 5 ½” in diameter and stands 1 1/8” in height. The iridescence is thick and shiny radium and is applied to the top and the sides.

The central medallion carries the trademark of the company and is surrounded by the words Cristallerias Rigolleau, Buenos Aires, Sociedad Anonima, Usinas en Berazategui F.C.S.

These Beetle ashtrays have been found in blue, marigold and amber. This gorgeous marigold example was purchased from Richard Cinclair in September of 2014 during the Jackie Poucher Event.
