Ashtray

Description

Curator’s Notes

A deep crescent moon shaped vessel with an extended tab forms the basis of this ashtray. Elegant in all its curves, reflections and shadows it serves well as an ashtray on a coffee table. One can rest an unfinished cig on the extension or grasp it to toss out ash heap.
