Art Deco coaster set featuring Scottish Terriers

Don't need to tell you how cool this set is because the pic has already done that. :-)
Vintage 1920 art deco set of coasters (or ashtrays). Marked on base "Germany."
Set measures 6 1/2" nose-to-nose and 2 7/8" high. Color is a variation on celadon green.

3 contenders for this, Cortendorf, Carstens Uffrecht & Schmider (Zell). I will check some catalogues for you.

I don't find all this new stuff all the time. The majority of items I'm posting here are from my collection of 15 years.

Ah, Steve, you're killing me - between the RumRill candle holders the other day and this - I'm drooling.

Now I really know what you mean when you tell me you're "collected." It's neat to see stuff from your many years of collecting. Incredible photography as well, as usual.

Whaaaa? My mouth actually dropped open (caught myself before drooling commenced, though) - where on earth did you find these? Any idea as to maker? They're so fabulous, so glad you shared them...

Let's talk soon!
