According to Ritzenhoff:  "The smoker's habitat is changing.  The act of smoking and not having to think about ones actions in any location, and what's more as much as one desires, is a thing o the past; laws have seen to that.  Non-smokers are being increasingly protected and tobacco friends are being forced out of their comfortable social habitat.  At home, within ones own four walls, that's the place where one can enjoy tobacco.  One can go as far as to say "celebrate the moment"."

Measures 6.5" square and 1.5" tall.  Nice deep bowl with two flat and wide, cradled rests.  Base is covered with a soft, strong material to protect the ashtray and your furniture.  Signed by Sandra Knuyt for Ritzenhoff.This series has been retired by the artist. Limited stock available.

About artist Sandra Knuyt

"I create shockingly attractive women that give a strong emotional message of empowerment and control. My subjects know what they don’t want. They fight against stereotypes. They are wise in the ways of the world. They are ‘Thinking Women Goddesses’. They are a mirror of myself. The cigar symbolizes an exaggeration of statement." The Sandra Knuyt Gallery & Studio is located in Kuala, Lumpur and was honored to have Mr. Dunhill, CEO of Dunhill, acquire one of her artworks for his private collection. Active in the art community since 1998, Knuyt already has many accomplishments in her name.  Her artwork licensed by Swedish Art Publisher Scandecor for art posters for world wide distribution.  She was chosen by Ritzenhoff & Sieger Design to design for their collections among other commissions from well-known corporations.  Her work has been in modern art museums in New York and Amsterdam. And she's only just begun.
