vintage Chinese brass dragon ashtray

This vintage Chinese brass ashtray pairs a weighty square form with richly worked dragon imagery in raised relief. A sculptural dragon moves through curling clouds and waves at the center, framed by an embossed border and four integrated rests. The aged brass surface deepens the intricate decoration, giving the piece a handsome presence as a decorative tray, catchall, or object on a coffee table or desk.

CONDITION

In good condition with wear consistent with age and use. The brass has developed areas of patina, oxidation, surface marks, and tonal variation throughout.
