Know before you buy
This piece is an authentic antique original, not a modern reproduction. It carries the historical character and craftsmanship consistent with traditional Chinese Rose Medallion porcelain.
The ashtray is crafted from high-quality, durable porcelain designed to withstand outdoor conditions. While it is robust, it remains a ceramic piece, so it should be placed on stable surfaces to prevent accidental breakage.
As an antique original, the piece may exhibit minor signs of age that contribute to its historical charm. However, the intricate character details and vibrant pink palette remain distinct and well-preserved.
To preserve the finish and intricate details, we recommend cleaning it gently with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid using harsh abrasive scrubbers or chemical cleaners that could damage the antique glaze.
Yes, the ashtray is designed with a functional basin that accommodates standard use. Its primary purpose is to serve as both a decorative accent and a practical receptacle for outdoor settings.
