$28.80
Graceful gold on ashtray from the Stangl Granda Gold line that has become quite popular again in recent times. Originally they were produced in the mid century and were very popular home decor items. Three of the four green felt pads on the bottom to prevent scratching a surface are still intact.
The ashtray is marked Stangl Pottery 3973 Made in USA Trenton, NJ, which is Granada Gold with 22k metallic accents over turquoise satin glaze. On the back, there is a VIII on the top of the logo or hallmark and the words PATENT PENDING below.
Ashtray is in great shape with no nicks or chips. The gold is applied in a very random way in the center of the ashtray and on the underside with no pattern. The top edges have a swirl and leaf type of pattern. The four indentations for cigarettes or cigars are solid turquoise/blue color.
Hardly any wear on this vintage item.
Measures 8 1/4" across (diameter) and is about 2" high.
On the bottom it says STANGL POTTERY, TRENTON NJ and the numbers 4088 as well as Patent Pending. There is a green felt circle over the bottom section that was used to protect from surface scratching that is partially attached and that I peeled back to take a photo of the hallmark.
Measures approx. 9" high and about 5" wide at the widest point. The base has about a 2 1/2" diameter.
ABOUT STANGL POTTERY
Stangl Pottery has been known far and wide for innovative artware, bright, colorful bird figurines and hand-painted dinnerware in floral and fruit patterns!
Begun by Samuel Hill in 1814 in Flemington, New Jersey, and known as Hill Pottery. Hill was a utilitarian potter, producing drain pipes and storage crocks and jars from Flemington's red earthenware clay. Production of Stangl products was done at their plant in Trenton, NY from 1926 to 1978.
By 1900, the company, now Fulper Pottery Co., was under the direction of William H. Fulper II, grandson of Abram Fulper. By 1924, Martin Stangl was vice president of the company, and was responsible for the introduction of America's first open stock solid-color dinnerware.
By the 1940s, hand-painted dinnerware had become popular, augmented in 1942 with the introduction of Stangl's best-known product, hand-carved, hand-painted dinnerware. Stangl's dinnerware and artware was sold through over 3000 department, gift and jewelry stores across America.
By November 1978, Stangl Pottery ceased manufacturing and closed forever, signaling the end of a truly unique American folk-art product.
