Beijing Cloisonné Ashtray – Handmade Copper & Enamel Trinket Dish

 Turn an everyday object into a small work of art with our Beijing Cloisonné Ashtray. Beijing has been the home of cloisonné, or jingtailan, since the imperial workshops of the Ming dynasty. Fine wires are shaped into flowing patterns on a copper body, and each tiny section is filled with bright enamel, then fired and polished until it glows like a jewel.

Set it on a desk, side table or bar cart as a classic ashtray, or use it as a catch-all for rings, keys, coins and small treasures on a dresser or entryway table. Its rich color and fine detail also make it a striking display piece on a study shelf. Choose from three sizes and several colors, including deep blue, light blue, red and yellow. It's a meaningful gift for a collector, a host, or anyone who loves Eastern art.
