Bring iconic Mid Century Modern California design into your collection with this vintage Sascha Brastoff enamel-on-copper ashtray, featuring the company's highly recognizable raised grape cluster motif enhanced by hand-applied gold vine accents against a rich glossy black enamel ground. The sculptural relief and brilliant metallic detailing create exceptional depth, allowing the design to catch and reflect light beautifully from every angle. Although originally produced as an ashtray, its elegant form makes it equally attractive today as a jewelry dish, trinket tray, coin dish, dresser catchall, or decorative cabinet display.
The reverse retains the original hand-etched production number 107AC, a documented Brastoff catalog designation associated with this classic grape cluster design.

The original foil sticker applied to this piece did not survive the childhoods of four active young people, much to the chagrin of our mother. Yet this remains highly desirable for its iconic Mid Century Modern California design.
The dish measures approximately 6½ inches in diameter and stands approximately 1 inch tall. The raised grape clusters remain crisp and well defined, while the hand-applied gold decoration continues to provide beautiful contrast against the glossy black enamel.
