CH001 Rectangular ashtray

Dimensions cm 9x16 (with handle) weight g. 160 aprox.

CD010 Oval ashtray '700 style model

Dimensions cm. 14x20 (with handle) weight g. 250 aprox.

 

 

Two ashtrays with lid made in two different styles and with different work. The smooth version is obtained from a sheet trimmed in the four corners and then folded and welded to form the main body. The model 700 is obtained instead by hammer forming of a silver plate using flat tops of wood initially and then of  steel. Then we continue with the welding of rim,  the support of the handle and the hinge for opening the lid.

The handle is made using rosewood.
If you are lucky enough to have  one of these objects try to count the hammer inprints..
