Nordia Israel Mid-Century Modern Brass Ashtray snowy forest not knowing exactly what it

not knowing exactly what it was

but have not been able to find another brush quite like this one

and the brass looks very much to me like  melted down shell casings

attached to the edge

and some opium weights as well)

Nordia Israel Mid-Century Modern Brass Ashtray snowy forest not knowing exactly what itJust a terrific looking, quintessentially mid century modern brass ashtray, made by Nordia, Israel, c. 1960s I believe. The perfect stylish party ashtray, or great on the desk for paperclips or whatever. Some wear and light scratching to the surface of the brass, which I have not touched, and perfect greening to the interior. Really sharp. 3 11 16" long x 3 3 16" deep x 9 16" tall.
