Amethyst Hand-blown Glass Ashtray with Controlled Bubbles | Vintage Catch-all Bowl | Vintage Glassware

$47.20 $59.00

A vintage 1950s hand-blown amethyst glass ashtray with controlled bubbles. The bowl is biomorphic in shape, and can be used as an all-around catch-all bowl. The bowl is perfect as an accent for a coffee or side table, as well as a catch-all for the bathroom, vanity, or home office desk.

The ashtray is 9 inches long, 8 inches wide, and 3 inches tall at the highest point of the rim. It weighs 2 1/2 lbs.

There are three tiny pieces of colored glass in the base - leftover shards of colored glass from a previous project when this was made. In excellent condition, with only slight signs of wear to the base from previous use.

Uncertain of the maker. Most people would say this is a Murano glass bowl. I don't believe it is because of one thing: the underside has a molded collar base, and all Murano glass ashtrays have flat and polished undersides. That said, I cannot positively identify the maker of this bowl.

Privacy policy

This Privacy Policy describes how and when I collect, use, and share information when you purchase an item from me, contact me, or otherwise use my services through Etsy.com or its related sites and services.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of third parties that I do not own or control, including Etsy or any third-party services you access through Etsy. You can reference the Etsy Privacy Policy to learn more about its privacy practices.

INFORMATION I COLLECT

To fulfill your order, you must provide me with certain information (which you authorized Etsy to provide to me), such as your name, email address, mailing address, payment information, and the details of the product that you’re ordering. You may also choose to provide me with additional personal information (for a custom order, for example), if you contact me directly.

WHY I NEED YOUR INFORMATION AND HOW I USE IT

I rely on a number of legal bases to collect, use, and share your information, including:

• as needed to provide my services, such as when I use your information to fulfill your order, to settle disputes, or to provide customer support;

• when you have provided your affirmative consent, which you may revoke at any time, such as by signing up for my mailing list;

• if necessary to comply with a legal obligation or court order or in connection with a legal claim, such as retaining information about your purchases if required by tax law; and

• as necessary for the purpose of my legitimate interests, if those legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights or interests, such as
1) Providing and improving my services. I use your information to provide the services you requested and in my legitimate interest to improve my services; and
2) Compliance with the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use. I use your information as necessary to comply with my obligations under the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use.

INFORMATION SHARING AND DISCLOSURE

Information about my customers is important to my business. I share your personal information for very limited reasons and in limited circumstances, as follows:

• Etsy. I share information with Etsy as necessary to provide you my services and comply with my obligations under both the Etsy Seller Policy and Etsy Terms of Use.

• Service providers. I engage certain trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services to my shop, such as delivery companies. I will share your personal information with these third parties, but only to the extent necessary to perform these services.

• Business transfers. If I sell or merge my business, I may disclose your information as part of that transaction, only to the extent permitted by law.
• Compliance with laws. I may collect, use, retain, and share your information if I have a good faith belief that it is reasonably necessary to: (a) respond to legal process or to government requests; (b) enforce my agreements, terms and policies; (c) prevent, investigate, and address fraud and other illegal activity, security, or technical issues; or (d) protect the rights, property, and safety of my customers, or others.

HOW LONG I STORE YOUR INFORMATION

I retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to provide you with my services and as described in my Privacy Policy. However, I may also be required to retain this information to comply with my legal and regulatory obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce my agreements. I generally keep your data for the following time period: 7 years.

TRANSFERS OF PERSONAL INFORMATION OUTSIDE THE EU

I may store and process your information through third-party hosting services in the US and other jurisdictions. As a result, I may transfer your personal information to a jurisdiction with different data protection and government surveillance laws than your jurisdiction. If I am deemed to transfer information about you outside of the EU, I rely on Privacy Shield as the legal basis for the transfer, as Google Cloud is Privacy Shield certified.

YOUR RIGHTS

If you reside in certain territories, including the EU, you have a number of rights in relation to your personal information. While some of these rights apply generally, certain rights apply only in certain limited cases. I describe these rights below:


• Access. You may have the right to access and receive a copy of the personal information I hold about you by contacting me using the contact information below.

• Change, restrict, delete. You may also have rights to change, restrict my use of, or delete your personal information. Absent exceptional circumstances (like where I am required to store data for legal reasons) I will generally delete your personal information upon request.

• Object. You can object to (i) my processing of some of your information based on my legitimate interests and (ii) receiving marketing messages from me after providing your express consent to receive them. In such cases, I will delete your personal information unless I have compelling and legitimate grounds to continue using that information or if it is needed for legal reasons.

• Complain. If you reside in the EU and wish to raise a concern about my use of your information (and without prejudice to any other rights you may have), you have the right to do so with your local data protection authority.

HOW TO CONTACT ME

For purposes of EU data protection law, I, James Mettler, am the data controller of your personal information. If you have any questions or concerns, you may contact me at info@midcityvintage.com.

Frequently Asked Questions

RETURN POLICY

Please note that vintage and antique products often show signs of wear from age and previous use. This is considered normal. All items in my shop are sold as is, and all sales are final. I do not accept cancellations or exchanges. Please review photos and descriptions, and contact me with any questions you have BEFORE making a purchase. I will accept returns if the product is not as described (e.g., you ordered a blue vase and you received a red one).

I offer free shipping when possible. Not all listings will have free shipping available.

DAMAGED OR LOST ORDERS

I insure every package against damage, theft, or loss. If your order arrives damaged, or if it’s lost or stolen, please contact me immediately. Please refer to the following instructions. Failure to follow the instructions below will void the insurance claim:
1. Take 8-10 clear photos of the damaged item from several angles. Include the shipping box from different angles. Please send me copies of the photos. I cannot file an insurance claim without them.
2. Keep all box and filler materials. The post office might need them for the claim investigation.
3. If claim is approved, I'll process the refund. A claim typically takes 2-3 weeks to process.

MAKE AN OFFER

Contact me if you would like to make an offer on any item in my shop.

VINTAGE OR ANTIQUE?

I use the US Customs Department policy regarding the age of antiques as my guide.
- I use "antique" to describe objects at least 100 years old or older.
- I use "vintage" to describe objects between 20 to 99 years of age.
- I use "retro" to describe contemporary objects made to mimic a past trend or fashion.
