Brass Flower

Profile picture for user figg gwendolyng

Description

This is a beautiful brass flower (not sure what type of flower) Any way all of the petals disconnect and appears to have been individual ash trays. I notice four diamond shaped markings on the stem of the flower.

Also there are other markings such as a tiny pin hole on one of the petals and another pin whole marking on the stem. The item is Brass I beleive and each petal is carved with line indentions for the detail of the flower.

I found this item at a thrift store about 10 years ago. I saw an item semilar and the seller was saying that is a rare piece and it would go up in value.
