Vintage 1960s Brass Heavy Cigar Ashtray Square Etched Floral Mid Century
This vintage square brass ashtray features an ornate etched floral design and a bold geometric form typical of Mid-Century decor aesthetics. Made of solid, heavy brass, it reflects the practical yet stylish craftsmanship of the era. The central basin is recessed and surrounded by flared edges with embossed botanical patterns — a design well-suited for cigars but also versatile enough for decorative use.
Though originally made as a smoking accessory, this piece now functions beautifully as a catchall tray, sculptural decor object, or tabletop accent. The brass has developed a rich patina that enhances its vintage appeal, while its strong lines and elegant etching make it a favorite among Mid-Century enthusiasts and collectors of decorative metalware.
Whether styled in a modernist space or layered into a bohemian decor setting, this ashtray adds visual texture and timeless charm.
