Vintage Mid-Century Modern ceramic glossy ashtray/trinket tray manufactured by Shawnee Pottery, which operated out of Zanesville, Ohio, USA from 1937 until 1961. The bottom stamp or engraving reading "Shawnee USA 401" confirms its origin. The number 401 is the specific shape or design mold catalog number assigned by the factory during its Mid-Century production run. The piece features a unique asymmetrical "basin" design typical of the 1940s–1950s tobacco lines produced by American potteries to double as functional catchalls for households. Excellent condition with no crazing, chips, staining or imperfections.
