Fire1981 Posted October 9, 2023 Report Share Posted October 9, 2023 I’m pretty sure it is. It was my Great Aunt Dorthy’s. She was married 7 times and all her husbands die on her. When I was between the age of 4-12 she had the Blue Beehive going on. She always planted that lipstick kiss on me. The one my Mom told me to just kiss her and go play the creek in her back yard. Time had past and I was 18 and going to visit her. Here she comes ready to plant that big old lipstick kiss on my cheek. Nope. Not this time. I grabbed her and planted a Prom Night kiss on her. Kinda fun when you buckle your Great Aunt’s knees and then go out back and play in the creek. All truths and no lies.She smelled like the little soaps in the bathroom. So there you have it. Do you guys know anything about these ashtrays? Crazy A$$ Black Widow. She always told me I look like my Grandpa. Really……? He was in his 60’s. Do I look that old? 🔥 RAR 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I do know a lady that was surrounded by death. Her high school boyfriend killed himself. Her aunt died prematurely under her care. Her husband died. Her second husband died. She always went on these spending sprees to help her deal with her grief. 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I love the “Murano” kitsch. It is the perfect glassware to separate tourists from their money. Murano can produce really fine art, but they need to sell “giftware” to keep the furnaces burning. Look at it this way: Aunt Dorothy left you a memory and a beautiful ashtray. Really, it is a cool piece of glass. 🔥 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted October 10, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2023 I guess if I see another one in the wild I should pass on it. But….I have gone to a lot Antique stores on “Grief Hunts.” You just need to find some comfort in your finds and go home and engross yourself in the moment 🔥 RAR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the fun part of collecting. Items like this, allow us the freedom to deviate from a narrow focus in our hunting. Recently, I have shifted my search. It has been freeing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had an Aunt who wanted lip kisses. As a child I would freak out. From that, I didn’t kiss anyone until I was 34. JK. 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamrock Marbles Posted October 10, 2023 Report Share Posted October 10, 2023 Marked “ITALY” on the bottom. Opaque black base with light blue grit and Lutz. Great cut lines on the inside. About 70mm in diameter. These would make a killer marble! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
