A beautiful antique ash tray made by Wedgwood, a prestigious company in the British ceramics world. This circular ashtray is made of jasperware, a signature Wedgwood technique, and is a masterpiece with an elegant pale blue base color.

The bottom is clearly stamped "WEDGWOOD MADE IN ENGLAND" to prove that it is a genuine product. A beautiful grape vine pattern is delicately expressed in white relief on the surface, and the rim is gracefully surrounded by decorations. This grape motif is a classic design that has been loved since ancient times as a symbol of fertility and prosperity.

Jasperware is a unique type of unglazed pottery developed by Josiah Wedgwood in 1775, and is a technique that creates beautiful contrast and three-dimensionality by applying white relief to a colored base. It is highly praised by collectors around the world as a highly artistic work that combines matte texture, beautiful coloring, and precise modeling technology. The moderate weight and smooth finish that you can feel when you pick it up speaks to its reliable quality.

Recommended usage/applications

Nowadays, we recommend using it for a variety of purposes rather than using it as an ashtray. If you use it as a plate to serve small candies, nuts, dried fruits, etc., you can create an elegant hospitality for guests as tea and sweets.

It is also perfect as an accessory tray for storing small items such as rings and earrings. If you place it on your dresser or side table, it will become a practical item that you can use on a daily basis and enjoy as an interior decoration. You can also create a romantic atmosphere by using it as a saucer for small candles or tea lights.

As a collection display, if you place it on a display shelf in combination with other Wedgwood works and British antiques, you can fully enjoy the value of a full-fledged antique collection. Its beautiful blue color adds an elegant accent to your space.

Interior coordination proposal

In traditional British style, pair it with dark wood furniture and leather sofas to create the feel of a prestigious library or study room. Pair it with brass accessories and tartan fabric to create a more authentic British gentleman's study space.

For modern classic interiors, displaying them on minimalist glass shelves or acrylic stands will highlight the beauty of antiques and add historical depth and class to contemporary spaces. It is also effective to use indirect lighting to beautifully highlight the shadows of the relief.

In vintage style, you can create an intellectual and sophisticated study space by combining it with old foreign books, brass stationery, and leather desk accessories. Combined with warm lighting, it will create a calm adult time.

Through the elegance and beauty of Wedgwood's signature blue and the exquisite artistry of the grape decorations, this is a precious piece that brings the pinnacle of British ceramics and the romance of history to your space.
