Maker Unknown Dog Face Marigold Ashtray


Description

I learned of an antique sale in East Texas so I got online and found there was a lot of Carnival Glass. Since it was a couple of hundred miles away, we drove over and spent the night. Among the 92 pieces we bought that day was this beautiful Dog Face Ashtray. I had been searching for over 25 years for one of these and I found this one in perfect condition at a very reasonable price.

On a side note about the one that got away; among the pieces offered at this sale was a rare Frolicking Bears Tumbler. One person, whom we did not know, was aware the tumbler was in the sale.  As I said, we spent the night and got there very early; the doors opened at 8 AM and we were there by 6:15. Not early enough…when we arrived there were 20 or more people ahead of us. Someone knew of the tumbler and was at the head of the line and made a beeline for it. To my knowledge that was the only piece he bought at the estate sale.
