Sought after by royalty, dignitaries, and celebrities, Romeo Miracoli’s Milanese silverware is beloved for its poetic and lifelike depictions of animals, often captured in motion. Though founded in 1912, the family-run workshop endures today under new generations, with this ashtray dating circa the mid-century. The solid silver form curves to a peak, atop which sits a pair of ducks, their wings poised for flight and startled beaks open as they stare at something unseen. Please note, this item is a truly original vintage piece with slight imperfections and distinctive characteristics that add to its charm and celebrate its unique history.
