Produced by the Cheshire CT firm of Bovano (started in 1953 by John BOnsignor, Gene VAn Leight and Warren NOden), this 18 1/2 inch wide enamel oval ashtray features what I have named the Blue Dotpattern which consists of one blue Jewel surrounded by a blue and orange crescent shape of miniature jewels.

The back is done in the typical black counterenamel Bovano uses and the gold circle label which reads Handcrafted by Bovano of Cheshire Conn. Two of original felt pads are missing. It is in excellent overall shape with only one stress mark to the large blue Jewel (which happens during its making as their later labels point out).
