Vintage Chinese cloisonné ashtray featuring traditional hand-crafted enamel work over a brass or copper body. The design showcases pink peony blossoms and green foliage against a rich black enamel ground, accented by fine brass wirework in the classic cloisonné technique. Three integrated cigarette rests surround the rim, while the interior is finished in a striking jade-green enamel. Although originally intended as an ashtray, pieces such as this are frequently used today as decorative catchalls, jewelry dishes, or display accents.
