Photo Challenge: Reflection!
Another Photo Challenge Friday! This week's theme from RAZMATAZ was Reflection. As I figured out what to photograph my eye kept glancing at my stack of ash trays near the front door. I love these glass beauties. Am I smoker? No. I instead inherited them from my wonderful Grandmother years ago. I remember loving them as a child because the glass balls along the rims reminded me of beads on beautiful, jewel-toned necklaces. I now enjoy looking at them every day on my way out of the house as they reflect the sun coming through the window. :) Now that I've "reflected" on my past, here's my photo:

I can see why you love it so much -- it's so pretty and unique :-) Love the rows of balls around the rim and the lovely colours :-)

I would never have guessed those to be ashtrays! No wonder you keep them around for not just their beauty, but in rememberance of your grandmother. Love the picture.
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous. I love that these are from your grandma! So nostalgic.

These are Candlewick Glass! Made by The Imperial Glass Co. in the 30's and 40's. You have a lovely complete set of stacking ashtrays, making them even more collectible! :) They are a form of Depression Glass. :)
ReplyDeleteLove your photo!

P.S. I also loved your post about Ramadan. That is so cool that he was willing to share with you. :) The Muslims that I work with are not as friendly. I think it is because they have their own group of folks that they hang with.
