Pressed glass individual ashtrays or salt cellars

These small pressed glass dishes were popular in the early to mid-20th century, serving dual purposes as individual ashtrays or salt cellars. American glass manufacturers like Heisey, Duncan, and McKee produced similar square or rectangular pressed glass items with decorative edges during the 1920s through 1950s. These pieces were often sold in sets and featured simple, elegant designs that complemented both formal and casual table settings. These items appeal to collectors of American pressed glass, Depression-era glassware enthusiasts, and those interested in vintage tableware. The simplicity and functionality of these pieces, combined with their historical connection to mid-century American dining culture, make them desirable to collectors who appreciate affordable vintage glass and the craftsmanship of early 20th-century American manufacturers.
