Triangular ashtray with 3 different lion heads
« on: January 25, 2012, 09:17:49 PM »
Not sure where to start with this piece.  No marks that I can find, but I really like this piece, with a different face on each corner.

From nose to nose measures 5.6" and from nose to the opposite point also measures 5.6"

I wonder of Desna ever produced these? Is there much wear to the base?

I think you're on the right track with Desna as a possibility...they are currently offering two triangular ashtrays...problem is that they shut down their website for over a year several years ago & who knows what they made during that time period.

Oh, Desna does look promising.  It's certainly similar in style to several of the items they display on their site.  I've emailed them photos to see if they can confirm.

Thanks to both of you!

Tiger, the base does not show a lot of wear.
