This piece was apparently so popular that it was originally made by Indiana Glass, the mold was then sold to Federal Glass, and subsequently was purchased by Libbey glass, so you will find it under many names. We've dated this one to the 1975 catalog for Federal and the 1979 catalog for Libbey. Perfect as a catchall for keys, jewelry, change, as display in your mid 20th century glass collection where the facets catch light, or yes, as an ashtray. The surface is smooth, the bottom and sides have a pebbled/hammered texture, and it weighs approximately 4 lbs. There are 4 deep stays/rests, pattern #2792.
Measures 7.75" diameter, 2" deep less
