You're buying the vintage piece in the pictures. It is some sort of enamel construction. The base metal is a steel or steel alloy of some sort (a magnet definitely sticks to it). I've seen some ashtrays online that look very similar to this made by Vallenti, but the inside bottom does not look damaged at all. It looks like it was made as is. Of course it has some manufacturing imperfections and some signs of use/storage, but overall it's a nice piece. Great for a small candy dish or ev...en keep your keys in it. It measures about 6 3/8" from edge to edge and it's about 1.5" tall from the rim to the bottom (where it meets the surface it's sitting on). Abstract design. Ask questions if you need to. Ships fast!
