Description
The ultimate in cigar art ashtrays made over 50 years ago by the creators of Higgins Glass who were beyond their time and are now timeless.
In the 1940s and 1950s, creative glass makers who worked in their own studios were experimenting with new ways to shape and decorate glass. This is when Higgins Glass, Michael Higgins and his wife, Frances, began making fused glass using an old method but with new and colorful mod designs.
The design on this art ashtray is called “Sunset” and was created by Frances Higgins. Signed ‘higgins’ in lower case gold enamel, indicating this art ashtray was made as part of the ‘higginsware’ line between 1957 and 1964. This Higgins Sunset ashtray appears unused and comes with a special bonus of the original paper sticker incorporating Higgins ‘Dancing Man’ logo.
