Question:
I have an ashtray marked Red Wing USA, M-3005. It is 11" square and orange/brown in color. Glaze is not very shiny, but there are some glossier spots. The indentation area has curves and the middle section that sticks up for the cigarettes is about 2 1/2 in. square and has 3 "notches" for cigarettes. There are no chips, cracks or crackling in the glaze. Thank you for any help you can provide. Robin

Answer: Hi Robin

this is a decorator line shape, from 1959. The glaze is probably burnt orange. Value is around 50.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose
