Perfect for the next party! Medium-sized ashtrays made of thick Italian lattimo (Milk) glass. 

Set of 6 mid-century modern ashtrays, circa 1960’s to 1970’s. Not too large, not too small.

Each measure 5½” long, 3½” wide and 1¼” tall with 1″ long, 5/8″ wide cradle rests. Will accommodate any size smoke. Can be transported in palm of hand. Stackable for easy storage. Rimmed base prevents surface wear. Well designed with exceptional form and function qualities.

All are marked “Italy” on the base. An infamous Italian glass-maker of the 1500’s, Angelo Barovier, is credited with the rediscovery of the ancient recipe for white glass. Lattimo glass is opaque white, and is meant to resemble enameled porcelain.

All in excellent condition! Sharp corners near rests are intact. Fab find.
