{"product_id":"baroque-brass-ceramic-pedestal-ashtray-foliate-scrollwork-base","title":"Baroque Brass \u0026 Ceramic Pedestal Ashtray with Foliate Scrollwork Base","description":"\u003ch2\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Inspiration\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is a quiet authority to a piece that draws on centuries of European decorative tradition. This handcrafted pedestal ashtray evokes the grandeur of Baroque and early Art Nouveau ateliers — a period when even the most utilitarian objects were conceived as acts of devotion to beauty. The deep forest-green ceramic bowl, crowned by a scalloped metal rim adorned with cast foliate appliqués, rests upon a boldly sculpted brass pedestal base whose acanthus-leaf reliefs, shell cartouches, and claw-footed stance speak unmistakably to the decorative language of 17th- and 18th-century European craftsmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMaterials \u0026amp; Craftsmanship\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bowl is formed from high-fired ceramic finished in a rich green glaze, its exterior hand-painted with flowing gold Art Nouveau scrollwork — sinuous vegetal lines that cascade naturally around the body, catching light with every turn. The interior reveals a warm apricot tone, centered by a cast gold rosette medallion. The rim is dressed in a cast metal collar worked into a continuous scalloped wave, from which four symmetrically placed foliate spurs project outward. The pedestal base is cast brass, worked with deep-relief acanthus leaves, rocaille shell panels, and a four-footed stance reminiscent of Baroque silversmith traditions. The finish is applied by hand, achieving the characteristic luminosity of fine silver plating.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDimensions \u0026amp; Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWidth: 15 cm | Height: 13 cm | Weight: 4 kg.
