Sigma "Hunt Scenes" Ceramic Ashtray

Every den had a dish like this by the good chair, not for show, just where the day's small things landed. A lighter. A matchbook from somewhere. The one ashtray nobody minded getting used.

This one has sat by that chair before. Maybe beside a decanter that only came out after five. Maybe on a card table where the same four men played the same losing hands for thirty years. Maybe under a lamp that stayed lit long after everyone else had gone up to bed.

It doesn't just hold the ash. It holds the corner of the room where the night actually happened.

Sigma "Hunt Scenes" Ceramic Ashtray. Vintage, Sigma the Tastesetter, Japan, huntsman and hounds in relief, fox mask and crop at top, laurel corners. 7" square. 

For the corner of the room where the real conversation happens. #followthefeeling @tallmadge_ave_vintage
