AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

No reserve price!

An unusual flower, in silver-plated metal, of Portuguese origin, from the 1950s/1960s.

It is in very good condition and with a lovely patina.

It serves as a decorative element, and also as an ashtray, since the petals come off, and each of them can be used as a handheld ashtray. It was used at parties in people’s homes, at a time when smoking was in fashion, and each person would keep a petal for themselves.

Seller's Story

Antiques are my great passion; all the items I have on auction were found at antique fairs and antique shops mainly from the Lisbon area, but also from the rest of Portugal, a country with a centuries-old history and many fabulous pieces and objects from this long journey, which I present here for auction. Only pieces of good quality, distinctly original, and obviously beautiful. Guarantee of quality and great care in the shipping of the items. Thank you.
