Dating back to the 60s and 70s, it will allow each of your guests to smoke without risking stubs on the rugs or sofa while holding a small ashtray as big as a flower petal. Made of solid brass, this mid-20th century ashtray is shaped like a giant imaginary cut flower complete with its stem. Leaves, branches and petals, through a fine chiseled decoration, reproduce in detail a real flower albeit out of scale. Extremely functional, this set of 70s ashtrays is at the same time playful, since each of the guests will have to remove a petal from the flower to have an ashtray like in the game "He loves me, he loves me not". Without labels or engraved marks that attest to its attribution, this model of flower ashtray was very popular in Italy during the mid-20th century modern, so much so that luxury brands such as Gucci, produced them, but without a stem. less
