Description
1934 Art Deco aluminum ashtray bowl by Laurelle Guild for ALCOA. Part of the collectible “Kensington Ware” line. This piece features it’s original solid brass and wire mesh lid. Mesh is all intact, no breaks or corrosion. Aluminum bowl is in fantastic shape with no remarkable wear. Sleek, sexy design seems to be light years ahead of it’s time. Had to believe it came from the dust-bowl era. Machine-age look, futurist and exuding luxury. Stamped below with the maker’s mark. We also have a second one of these ashtrays available, a Kensington salt & pepper shakers and small dishes (sold separately).
