Fantastic deal for those interested in Israeli art or 50s art.
Seen it sell for far more on fine art sites.
A heavy, cast bronze ashtray by Maurice Ascalon in a nautilus shape has a fluted, flat edge that widens as it spirals around the well, which has a hammered texture. The concave portions of the fluting are finished with a verdigris patina that typifies Israeli decorative arts of the midcentury period, a field in which Pal-Bell (under Ascalon’s direction) was a leader. An embossed stamp on underside reads “Pal-Bell Co. Made in Israel.”
In fantastic condition.
