Handmade solid brass ashtray from Italy, dated ca. 1950–1960, weighing about 1.1 kg with dimensions 17 × 14 × 6 cm and in good used condition with patina and signs of age.
Description from the seller
A distinctive **solid brass ashtray, handmade**, weighing about **1.1 kg**: an object that stands out for the texture of the material and the sculptural character of its form.
The irregular profile, thick edges, and soft undulations create an organic silhouette, almost carved like a small sculpture. The cigarette rests are integrated into the edge and follow the movement of the composition, uniting function with aesthetic refinement.
The warm tones of the brass alternate with darker, patinated areas, highlighting the surface and giving the piece a lived-in charm. Also beautiful as a small catchall or decorative element on a desk, a console, or a side table.
**On the bottom there are initials and engraved marks**, visible in the photographs, whose attribution has not been identified.
**Indicative dimensions:** 17 × 14 cm, height 6 cm
**Weight:** about 1.1 kg
General condition as in photos, with patina, oxidation, superficial scratches, and signs of use, particularly visible on the bottom. It is offered with its current finish, which enhances its tactile material quality.
A special piece, with a bold presence despite its compact size, ideal for those who love handcrafted metal objects with unusual shapes and strong character.
