Catalog Note: The President of Baldwin Piano, Lucien Wulsin, won the Grand Prize at the Anglo-American Piano Exposition in London. Wulsin also sat on the board of Rookwood Pottery, and the present lot was most likely made in recognition of that award. We have only ever seen four of these ashtrays, all from 1914.
