Featured Cut glass ashtray, possibly cut by William L. Wixson?

I have to ask about this cut glass ashtray to see if anyone has any information. As you can see in the last photo taken from one of the books by Bill and Louise Boggess it's very similar to the one in the photo. The only differences I can see are the center motif and the size of the leaves. Other than that it appears, at least to me, to be an exact duplicate. Would anyone have any information they could pass along on this?

 

Text says the one in photo was specially cut for the authors, so probably one of a kind. Yours is surely by the same hand.

 

nice glass !!!!!!!

 

Thank you. I've yet to figure out which book of theirs this photo came from. I have several of their books but don't want to buy all of them just to find the photo.

 

Nice piece !
Your photo is from book American Brilliant Cut Glass.A collectors Guide, Copy right 1977 Page 11.

 

Thank you and thank you for the reference to which book. Is there a photo of a cut glass decanter on the cover?

 

Cover has 5 photos..punch bowl , pitcher, jar and basket..with plate in center. Cover is burgundy and green.


BTW--I have about 6 ABCG books, and may be selling them soon, as alas...my collecting days are coming to an end, and may be selling some of pieces and books.

 

Thanks Janet, this is the ISBN of the one I bought last night ISBN:9780517525258. It had the correct copyright date from what I could see as the one you referenced.

 

Mine is ISBN 0-517-52525-9 Copyright 1977 Third Printing 1978

 

I went back to the bookseller. There are two ISBN # a 10 and 13 -
ISBN 10: 0517525259 ISBN 13: 9780517525258 so it looks like I bought the correct one. I'll find out when it gets here.

 

Check page 11

 

Yes, I got the correct book with the photo of the ashtray on page 11.
