Circa 1952-1959: For some reason, there are a few select pieces in certain colors that will elude collectors, and the Harlequin basketweave ashtray in the '50s chartreuse glaze is one of those pieces. Although the Vintage Fiesta pottery line did have an ashtray, it was with the Harlequin line that the Homer Laughlin pottery company went all out, giving us three varieties of ashtrays to enjoy— plain, basketweave and saucer versions. This example of the exquisite basketweave ashtray in the original and hard to find Harlequin '50s chartreuse glaze is in excellent condition without any use or damage. Measures 6 3/16" wide by 1" high
