Ava Brass Ash Tray

Connecticut-based Gabriela Anastasio Holloway founded her line of durable home goods to honor and preserve the time-honored craft of the world’s most talented artisans.

Fluted and sculptural—the Ava Ash Tray channels golden-age glamour into a crisp, modern form. Rendered in unlacquered brass, its pleated rim frames a smooth, shallow center designed for the rituals that gather on a tabletop or desk. The metal’s warm, mirrorlike surface will deepen over time, settling into a patina shaped by touch and use. For decorative or dry use only. Not intended for prolonged exposure to liquids or acidic foods. Natural oxidation will occur. Warning: Handling brass may expose you to trace lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm. The brand's pieces are made from low-lead brass alloys and finished by hand.
