Cast brass fly-form ashtray with articulated wings. This functional decorative piece features detailed wingspan engravings, articulated wing hinges, and naturalistic insect body proportions. Marked "MADE-IN-ITALY" on the underside interior. The patinated brass displays an aged green-brown patina with areas of exposed golden brass, particularly visible along the body segments, leg joints, and wing details.
The hinged wings can be opened to reveal an ash cavity with mounting holes visible in the interior. All six legs and articulated body parts remain intact. The piece exhibits fine casting detail throughout, including textured surface patterning on the wings and anatomical insect features.
Condition Notes: Natural patina and oxidation consistent with age. Minor surface scratches on the interior cavity. Some darkening and residue in recessed areas. No structural damage or missing components. Refer to the pictures and in person inspection for condition.
