Abstract (en)

Ortello describes the course of his research on a pressed, non-lead glass novelty ashtray with attached synthetic horse figurine. Though this piece is demonstrably a product of the early 1940s, Ortello shows that its history can be traced back to the late 19th c. and associated with the products of Albert Vaughn Johnston's Boston & Sandwich Glass Company II (1895-1897).
