The listing, Old Hand Carved/Hand Painted Brass Floral Ashtray From India has ended.
This one is sort of cool, I guess.
I purchased this old hand carved/hand painted India ashtray at a small antique shop on State Rd in Wadsworth, OH for around $20 around 20 years ago. Back then, I had "The Nasty Habit," and this struck me as a 'noble' piece. Since I have long kicked the habit out of my life - I might as well get rid of my old favorite ashtray as well!
Not sure why I've kept it in a box all these years. It is quite nifty and all, but I am not exactly what you would classify as a 'collector' of this sort of thing. Just one of those things that I happen to have but no longer have any sort of attachment to: Which makes it perfect fodder for Listia!
I'm not sure of the exact age, but it was already old when I got it. The closest thing I could find online was eBay item 120929156469, which appears to be of the same or similar style. This one is just a little larger at slightly under 4" wide, and about 2-1/2" tall - and I think I like it a little better (but that could just be bias!) It is clearly brass and weighs in at around 9 ounces on my non-digital Weight Watchers scale (I KNEW that thing would come in handy some day, lol!)
