Description

Color: Green, brown A green ceramic ashtray with the Workman brand at the center of the bottom of the bowl, owned by Thomas W. Temple II, ca. 1930-1970. The object has four indentations along the rim for holding smoking paraphernalia and, on the bottom of the bowl, the "W" shaped William Workman cattle brand measuring 2 1/2"H x 3 1/2"W and in a brown-colored glaze. The rest of the bowl is green, except for the bottom rim which is brown. There are no other identifying features to the item, which has several chips along the outside face of the bowl's rim and appears to have cracked at the underside bottom during the making of the item, which is in good condition.
