Carved Wooden Foot Shaped Ashtray with Copper Insert handmade doll It is definitely vintage

It is definitely vintage

it is beautifully made and has a great presence--as much as a sculpture as a functional vase

though I have not been able to find another quite like it and am just not sure

wherever you go

this is clearly a couple for the ages

Carved Wooden Foot Shaped Ashtray with Copper Insert handmade doll It is definitely vintageI've found some other carved wooden feet like this one that served as ashtrays, but I haven't found one with a removable copper ashtray fitted and set on top. I think it is possible that the insert was custom made at a later date for this particular foot, which I found at an estate sale in Acton, MA in a house filled to the brim with a lifetime's accumulation with all sorts of wonderful things! I'd guess the foot itself is Southeast Asian in origin
