AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
No reserve price!
Unusual flower, in silvered metal, of Portuguese origin, from the 50s/60s.
It is in very good condition and with a beautiful patina. (One pollen stem missing)
It serves as a decorative element, and also as an ashtray, since the petals come off, and each of them serves as a portable ashtray to carry in the hand. It was used at parties in people’s homes, at a time when smoking was fashionable, 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.
