Title: Vasart Ashtray
Post by: NevB on October 27, 2022, 02:17:20 PM

This is a little 11cm. ashtray with a Vasart etched mark. The main colour is green with hints of black, purple and blue, with tiny specks of aventurine. It has a part ground rough pontil with a crack emanating from it which appears to have been done during manufacture.

Apparently this type of crack was very common on early Vasart and Monart pieces due to the standard annealing process.
