“A fine cigar deserves the respect of a fine ashtray, a solid silver altar of offering, an elevation where the senses of sight, smell and touch may be enjoyed in that one hour of life that the cigar gives to it’s admirer” - Patrick Mavros

This ashtray design has gave me much enjoyment and is a highly detailed sculpture. Dominated by the centrepiece of a proud silver lion, the beautifully balanced, hand-finished tray is held up by two of the fabled ‘Hear No Evil’ and ‘See No Evil’ monkeys. However the third mischievous monkey is hiding below, between the lion’s back legs where he puffs on a hand rolled, 18ct gold cigar. The ‘Smoke No Evil’ monkey is the hidden hero of the piece.
