This unique mid-century modern ashtray bowl features a bold six-notch rim, heavy brass body, and a vibrant turquoise and orange enamel inlay that sweeps across the center like an abstract wave around a deep emerald-green accent.
The combination of notched edges, cast brass, and enamel detail is strongly reminiscent of Pal-Bell Co. of Israel, a mid-20th-century design house founded by Maurice Ascalon, which became known for its modernist bronze ashtrays, bowls, and decorative objects. While this particular piece is unmarked, it closely fits the aesthetic and era of 1950s–1960s Israeli brassware.
