. . rich with the vibrance of southern Spain
These unique hand-painted Spanish ashtrays / dishes are not only useful but stunning too. They are decorated with a blaze of rich, vibrant colours, each individually hand-painted in Andalucia, along the southern shores of the country. They are handmade from the local clay of the Alpujarras and have a lovely rustic quality. What a stunning gift to give a friend or loved-one. This would make a practical gift to pass on your best wishes as well as adding a little flavour of the Mediterranean to someone's home or work place.
This sweet little dish was designed principally as an ashtray but we feel that the colours and designs are so vibrant and have such a "Mediterranean" feel, that it could easily lend itself to other uses - even for non-smokers.
Description: The ashtray measures 10x8cms (4x3"). Because they are handmade, each dish is unique and inspires that Mediterranean feeling with images of sun, sand, tapas and flamenco.
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 several other uses (eg: as a soap dish). Comes gift-wrapped, like all our presents - and we can print a personal message on your behalf.
