Product description
This is a beautiful example of traditional Chinese lacquerware, executed as a vintage ashtray. The object immediately stands out due to its detailed, hand-carved cinnabar red exterior and surprising cobalt blue interior.
The ashtray is crafted using the ancient technique of carved lacquerware, where many layers of lacquer are applied and then hand-worked into a floral relief. The interior is made of vibrant blue enamel, set in a brass-colored metal base that also forms the three cigarette holders. This combination of deep red, bright blue, and metal gives the piece a rich appearance.
Although designed as an ashtray, this item is so decorative that it can also perfectly serve as a vide-poche for small items or simply as a standalone decorative object. It adds a touch of Asian elegance and a splash of color to a desk, side table, or dresser in an eclectic or classic interior.
