Ashtray - Metal - Space Age ashtray

Small spherical ashtray in silvered metal (tin or patinated alloy), inclined globe shape with a tilting lid, vintage mid-century / Space Age style (approximately 1960s–1970s).

Features :
- Overall height (including stand) : 12 cm
- Sphere diameter: 7 cm
- Weight: 200 g
- Shape: hollow perfect sphere, semi-circular side opening with a hinged lid (simple and smooth tilting mechanism), mounted on a slender cylindrical stem and a flat round base. Exterior surface polished chrome or nickel-plated with a matte-brilliant patina and metallic reflections, a futuristic and minimalist look. Interior slightly oxidized with old residues (ashes and black traces of use).

Condition: good – original patina intact, mechanism functional, no visible deformation or breakage; normal signs of use (internal darkening, light superficial external oxidation), no major chips or deep scratches.

Rare utilitarian and decorative object due to its inclined spherical shape and its purely geometrical aesthetic, very characteristic of the Space Age style of the 60s-70s (influence of futuristic design, chrome round objects, high-tech minimalism). Ideal for collectors of vintage smoking accessories, mid-century / Space Age ashtrays or enthusiasts of small metal design objects in Scandinavian or European style from the era.

Careful shipment.
