This Fostoria Coin Glass Ashtray features a heavy scalloped silhouette and a smooth pressed-glass texture, offering a sophisticated mid-century lounge aesthetic for artful coffee table decor.

Produced between 1958 and 1982 by the renowned Fostoria Glass Company of Moundsville, West Virginia, this piece is rendered in their coveted "Ice Blue" hue. The center of the dish is anchored by four distinct frosted medallions—often referred to as coin cameos—depicting patriotic motifs like the American Eagle and the Liberty Torch. These coins are expertly frosted on the underside, a hallmark of original Fostoria craftsmanship that provides a beautiful contrast against the translucent blue glass. At eight inches wide, this is a substantial and weighted example of elegant American glassware that balances utility with sculptural beauty.

The scalloped rim includes deep rests that were originally designed for cigars or cigarettes, but today, this piece serves equally well as a stunning valet tray for keys, jewelry, or even as a centerpiece for seasonal décor. The brilliant blue glass catches the light with exceptional clarity, typical of the high-quality lead glass Fostoria was known for before their factory closed in the 1980s. Whether you are an avid collector of Coin Glass or looking for a singular pop of color to anchor a mid-century modern study, this ashtray brings a touch of vintage Americana to any setting. Its excellent condition ensures that the frosted details remain crisp and the edges sharp, preserving the integrity of this classic Appalachian-made treasure.

Details: Measures about 8" and stands close to 1.5". Excellent condition.
