AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Very beautiful vintage standing ashtray. The ashtray probably dates from the early 1960s. It weighs approximately 2.5 kg. The height is about 66 cm, and the diameter of the bottom is approximately 18 cm. The ashtray is made of chrome-plated steel, and the stem is made of black lacquered steel.
The ashtray is equipped with a lid with a push button; when you press the button down, it turns simultaneously, causing the cigarette butts and ash to be flung into the container by centrifugal force. This mechanism still works perfectly. The base of the ashtray consists of a cast iron half-sphere. Due to the weight of this cast iron, the ashtray has a low center of gravity and can wobble without tipping over.
This standing ashtray is a typical vintage piece of furniture, commonly found in many households during the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. The combination of chrome and black gives it that characteristic vintage look. Very beautiful in any interior, and still highly functional for smokers.
The ashtray still looks very good. The chrome still shines like it did in the 1960s. The base and neck have some dents here and there (see photos), but these are logical signs of use; not unusual for an item over 60 years old.
The ashtray is carefully packed and shipped insured.
