Blue Slag Glass Ashtray: Vintage 5 Inch Akro Agate Marbled Ellipsoid Dish (0246-25)

Perfect for vintage glass collectors who want a functional piece of American history for a mid-century or cottagecore home. Ideal if you're looking for a genuine Akro Agate dish to repurpose as a ring holder, incense burner, or unique desk accessory.

Unlike standard clear glass, this 1930s slag glass features a dense, marbled blue and white "ellipsoid" design. This means each piece has a unique swirl pattern that creates a striking geometric pop on any surface, resulting in a conversation piece that doubles as a practical catchall.

Condition: Very good vintage condition. No chips or cracks. Features light surface wear consistent with age and authentic marbled slag glass textures, including small amber-toned swirls typical of the manufacturing process.

How is it used? While originally a double-lipped ashtray, its shallow oblong shape makes it a perfect minimalist tray for bobby pins, jewelry, or even a small salt cellar for the kitchen.

IMPORTANT NOTE: At Darling Della Vintage, we believe every scratch and bit of patina tells a story. Our pieces are 30+ years old and have lived full lives, so gentle wear, tiny chips, or age-worn charm are part of their soul — not flaws. We photograph and describe each item carefully, but please expect natural signs of age. Embracing vintage means embracing history — and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
