Casual Craft Ashtray by Erwin Kalla
An inexpensive find on eBay. I love the feel of this ashtray. Very substantial in the hands. Anyone have ideas on a multifunction use for ashtrays? How about an asian side dish and the chop sticks are placed in the notches?
Another great find Mike. I
Another great find Mike. I haven't seen this before. It looks perfectly proportioned. I also have not seen this royal blue glaze before and like it a lot. I have several ashtrays and use them as trays and holders for various things-- one I use to hold cotton balls and mini hotel soaps and shampoos in the guest bathroom. Another is on my dresser and is a convenient place to keep my keys, watch and wallet. A third is on my bedside table and is where the cell phone goes when it needs charging. You get the idea. I guess you could use it as a "holder" for asian food as well!
Beautiful Glaze...
Hi Mike,
That's a stunning glaze... the form however is not good for chopsticks. How about a pencil holder? Most of us store our pens and pencils in various vessels, vertically. You could change all that with a horizontal holder.
