Produced by Royal Copenhagen as part of its Baca series in the late 60s early 70s, this one features a wonderful graphic black and umber bird and fish design by Johanne Gerber. If not as an ashtray, perfect on a desk, dresser, or dinner party table. Especially great paired with this ashtray by Nils Thorsson.
