Would like to learn more about this if anyone here can help. The back says Vidrio Products Corp Cicero Ill. I’m new here so I’m feeling my way along.

Hi Welcome.....according this this link below you have a slag glass Ashtray, as here is another one like yours. https://www.etsy.com/listing/519069593/vintage-houze-glass-slag-glass-ashtray
Again Welcome
Vidrio Products Corporation produced "agate" or "slag" glass products in Cicero, Illinois from 1926 through 1953. Your item is an ashtray - the circular indentation held an electric cigarette lighter encased in matching glass.
A picture of a complete lighter/ashtray set can be seen here - https://www.bigashtray.com/product/antique-agate-glass-ashtray-and-electric-lighter/
You may notice - identical items were made by more than one company.
Neat links - thanks.
How do you feel about having a "relic" to look after Dave?
