Vintage metal flower-shaped ashtray from the 1960s–1970s, Italian design.

AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Elegant and distinctive vintage table ashtray in the shape of a flower, featuring a refined metal structure with a silver finish and golden tones developed through patina of time.

The design reproduces a stylized flower with six finely shaped petals, decorated with veining that recalls natural leaves and petals. The structure is detachable: the individual elements can be removed and used separately as small individual ashtrays, while the assembled flower becomes an original decorative object for the table.

This is a piece that is particularly representative of Italian design in the mid-20th century, when smoking accessories were often designed to be real decorative and sculptural objects as well.

Era: circa 1960s–1970s
Style: Mid-Century Modern / Italian Vintage
Material: metal
Color: silver with details and a patina of gold
Dimensions: approximately 23–24 cm in length; height approximately 15–16 cm, according to measurements visible in the photographs.

Conditions: good vintage condition, with normal signs of time, slight variations in finish and surface patina consistent with age. The photographs are an integral part of the description.

A distinctive original and decorative piece, ideal for a collection of Italian vintage design, for a retro setting, a shop window, or as a special conversation piece.

Note: since no maker’s mark or signature is visible in the photographs, I do not attribute the piece to Gucci or any other specific producer. Models of this type were produced by several Italian manufacturers.
