Manufacturer: Bovano, Cheshire, CT
Produced by the Cheshire CT firm of Bovano (started in 1953 by John BOnsignor, Gene VAn Leight and Warren NOden), this is an early Bovano design and decoration. This item may well be from the transitional period of 1953 when the firm had just succeeded Brower as this shape of ashtray and type of jewels is more characteristic of Brower pieces than later Bovano pieces.
The ashtray measures 8 3/4 inches long x 5 1/3 inches wide. It is counterenamled in a gold and greenish brown color which is different from the later black Bovano counterenameling. The label has a different smaller B in a different font than most later Bovano pieces. It carries the same words: Handcrafted by Bovano of Cheshire Conn.
This ashtray has 7 variegated jewels, carefully arranged in a line. The layout of the colors and sizes of the jewels is perfectly symmetrical. The ashtray is in very good condition though there appears to be wear a stress line or two. A very interesting item from a great firm.
