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 enormous passion; all the items I have up for auction were found at antique fairs and from antique dealers mainly in the Lisbon area, but also from the rest of Portugal. Only pieces of good quality, distinctly original and obviously beautiful. Quality guarantee and very careful shipping of the pieces.
ATTENTION: If you are interested in one of my pieces that has a reserve price, please note that I will absolutely not offer it for less than 80% of the reserve value of the piece. And I should also note that if that piece is not sold here on Catawiki, I will sell it at another auction house, so if you’re really interested in any of my pieces, buy it when you see it the first time.
Thank you very much
