Alfieri Gardone's brutal bronze vacuum-pocket ashtray for Lauterbach

Sublime brutalist ashtray in solid bronze by alfieri gardone for the foundry lauterbach, 1960s. Very beautiful abstract composition presenting a wide variety of volumes and textures: grainy and patinated dark matte in places, smooth and polished gold or copper to others. Small dots of green-of-grey here and there, see photos. This ashtray or pocket is absolutely new to stock (nos) and that-plus-is in its original felted box! It has a "solid bronze" label. It comes from a "new" batch from the 1960s of the lauterbach foundry. Other bronze pieces by this artist and this foundry can be found at my selency shop. Height: 3 cm, width: 14 cm, depth: 7.5 cm. Weight: 400g.
