Hand made in Andalucia, Spain - full of Mediterranean charm
These vibrant little hand-painted ashtrays / dishes are not only useful but full of charm. They are decorated with a pattern of little fishes in fabulous blue and white colours, each individually handpainted in Andalucía, southern Spain. They are hand made from the local clay of the Alpujaras and have a lovely rustic quality. What a sweet little gift to give a friend or relative to pass on your best wishes as well as adding a little flavour of the Mediterranean to their home or office.
This sweet little dish was designed principally as an ashtray but we feel that the colours and designs have such a "Mediterranean" feel, that it could easily lend itself to other uses - even for non-smokers.
Description: The ashtray/dish measures 10x8cms (4x3"). Because they are handmade, patterns may vary slightly.
An ideal housewarming gift or present for a new home. Even if the recipient is a non-smoker, it is handy to have for guests and has other uses (such as a soap dish). Ideal as a little Thanksgiving present too - or other Christian gift because of the little fishes. Comes gift-wrapped, like all our presents - and we can print a personal message on your behalf.
