DUNHILL/PARKER - LARGE HEAVY ART DECO GLASS PIPE SMOKERS ASHTRAY Pretty icy blue color that is heavy solid swirled glass. Measures 2 3/4" deep and has a top diameter of 4 7/8". Perfect condition, no chips, cracks or damages. In 1922 Alfred Dunhill formed the Parker Pipe Co in order to market what Dunhill's called 'failings', what we would call 'seconds'. It would appear that items were marketed under the Parker name and were in fact a mixture of Dunhill pipes and Parker's own production. In 1967 Parker amalgamated with Hardcastle and they went on to produce their own range of pipes and still continue to do so. A great gift for the smoking enthusiast. It's a beautiful piece of useable art glass. This magnificent Art Deco glass ashtray It has the acid etched Parker signature on the base together with their 'Diamond P' trademark and Made in England.
