This is a set of two matching Japanese metal ashtrays. They have 'rests' for two cigarettes and have a very intricate pattern with a red design in the center. I bought them from an antique shop in Bowling Green, Kentucky, approximately 20 years ago for about $5.00.
This set was brought back from Thailand in the early to mid 60's and given to my parents. Was told was brass, not sure need to know. Any marking we should look for? It's in a wood box, blue lining, and is in very good condition. My mom would like to sell this and needs to know approx. value and best place to sell. Has Budha like on handles with wood on handles too. If anyone can help or is interested in giving value and/or buying, would be greatly appriecated.
Label on inside of lid, upper left hand corner reads:
