Circa 1939-1943: The vintage fiesta pottery line did have an ashtray, but with the Harlequin line, the Homer Laughlin pottery company went all out, giving us three varieties of ashtrays to enjoy— plain, basketweave and Basketweave ashtrays.

This example in the original radioactive red glaze is in spectacular condition without any use or damage. Measures 6 3/16" wide by 1" high
