Overall in good original condition. The surfaces present with a few light surface scratches and minor dents scattered along the edges consistent with age and gentle use. The interior and underside of the base with a few areas of discoloration. The upper edge with two minor indented areas, where the edge is slightly bent on each side of the panel dividing the ashtray in half. The two shorter sides are also very slightly bent, one of them with a minor separation to the vertical seam. A lovely piece which presents with a delicately hammered surface treatment, from the Collection of Andy Warhol.
