Collector's Notes

Grand Ole Opry souvenir ashtrays and trays are a fun little corner of country music collecting.

This one suits a Nashville fan, Grand Ole Opry collector, guitar player, or someone setting up a music room shelf.

The brown and cream drip glaze gives it that mid-to-late 20th century souvenir look, and the guitar shape does not leave much mystery about where its heart is.

A little bit country, a little bit countertop catch-all.
