California Pottery (USA)

I picked up this space age ashtray last year and I love it (I have a huge collection of ashtrays). Hope this montage shows it enough. The label says California Originals Torrance Calif. and I think the form number is 309

This little spoon rest is used constantly (I love my tea!) so it's not mint but it is lovely

Whereabouts did you find them - I absolutely never come across any American pottery OR glass in my neck of the woods (which is a shame because I'd love some Blenko and Bischoff glass). The orange ashtray is fab - I have a fair few ashtrays myself (not because I'm a smoker but because you can pick some brilliant ones up for next to nothing - as I'm sure you're already aware!)

The space age ashtray came from eBay. Not sure whether UK or Germany which is where I buy a lot of stuff. The spoon rest origin is lost in the mists of time I'm afraid it just seems to have been with us forever. My husband thinks he can remember picking it up in a charity shop a long time ago.
