Eames Era Inlaid Tile Large Patio Ashtray

Stylish mid-century retro modern ashtray.

Very large 1950s inlaid tile ashtray.  Perfect for outside.  Great for parties.

Measures 11.75" x 11.75".  The small tiles measure 3/4" x 1/4".  There are 420 tiles, each are inlaid by hand.  Held together by a sturdy grout.  The two rests are ceramic.

Pleasing earthtone colors of cream white, light tan, medium tan, and brown.

In good condition, with some wear to the grout.  The grout has hardened over the years, and shrunk back a bit, causing light stress lines.  You have to look very closely to see them.  It is not damage, just age. All the tiles and rests have a firm setting, nothing is loose.  The tiles show no damage, still shiny and whole.

The tile is inlaid on a shiny gold metal base.  Previous owner applied felt squares to protect the base.  Very little bottom wear.  Gold is still shiny, some scratching. Weighs 2.5 lbs.

Great for candles and incense too. Click on images below to enlarge, use your Back Arrow to return to this page.
