Produced in the 1960s, it features a glossy orange plastic body paired with a chrome lid. The design is sculptural and geometric, with a flared base, slender stem, and conical top that turns a functional object into a decorative accent. A fine example of the radical use of plastic in postwar interiors, it adds both color and personality to any room. Condition: excellent vintage, with minor surface scratches, inner compartment oxidation not visible in use, and a clean upper compartment that sometimes sticks when pressed. A collectible piece of mid-century design. See less
