Crafted in Italy during the 1950s, these pieces exemplify the high-quality metalwork of the era. Each dish is exceptionally substantial, weighing approximately 12 ounces, ensuring they sit firmly on any surface. They feature a classic low-profile design with four integrated cigarette rests along the wide rim, surrounding a shallow central bowl.
We have intentionally left these in their original, unpolished state. They boast a gorgeous, deep golden-brown vintage patina with authentic character marks, including lathe-turning rings on the underside and a slightly pitted sand-cast texture.
While originally designed as ashtrays, this heavy pair is perfect for modern use as "vide-poche" (catchall) dishes for jewelry, keys, or coins on an entry table or desk.
