Retro Op Art Standing Ashtray

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 13:42:58 -0500

$35.00
First, let's just say that you shouldn't smoke. It's not healthy. However, if you do smoke, you shouldn't ash on the floor. That's just bad form. Someone's going to have to clean it up. So you're going to need a receptacle for your ashes. Here's one for you... über-cool 50s optical art turquoise and black freestanding ashtray.
Ah, the beauty of the standing ashtray... ultimate freedom at any smoke-friendly gathering, removing the burden of having to congregate around a table. Not that there's anything specifically wrong with congregating around a table, but when it's a requirement, it is a little more difficult to swallow. Sometimes smokers like to be mobile, you know.
Dimensions: Ashtray is 8" by 8" square, and 2.5" tall. The stand is approximately 27" tall, from handle to base. Now, this is a vintage piece, and as you can see in the pictures, there is some checking on the finish of the ashtray, and some minor oxidation on the stand itself. Fairly in keeping with the age of the piece.

If you're outside of the US and want this item, please convo us for a shipping price. We happily ship worldwide.

Crazy Madcap Wicked Insanely good lord this necklace is the bees knees for reals. Straight up newyork funky style. ( okay maybe that is overkilling it) But seriously this is in my humble opinion pretty neat.

Rainy Cloud Mobile

Thu, 10 Sep 2009 16:02:26 -0400

$7.50
Cloud mobile! Puffy happy cloud smattering little droplets of rain below. Don't be afraid of putting this one over your bed, though, because the rain is attached and won't get anything wet. Cumulus clouds are more easily interpreted into mobiles than stratus clouds, by the way. If you hang a stratus mobile and have your friends over, they would likely ask, "why do you have that sheet hanging from the ceiling?"

Linen, über-sustainable bamboo filling, jute twine and a smidge of felted cotton comprise this gift from the stratosphere. Cloud is approx. 10" wide x 8" tall, with lowest raindrop hanging about 9" below the bottom of the cloud.
