The particulars
Product Details
- Material: cast resin with skull and crossbones motif, approximately 4 1/2 in
- Resin note, said plainly: resin is not fireproof like glass or ceramic, so let embers die in the bowl, and for incense or charcoal use a bed of sand or ash in the tray as insulation
- Wipe clean when cool; keep from open flame contact
The Emblem That Warns
The skull and crossbones is the West's plainest symbol: memento mori on medieval tombs, the Jolly Roger on pirate canvas, the poison label's universal warning, five centuries of the same two shapes saying the same honest thing, remember. Cast as an ashtray the emblem does what it always has, and the tray does its practical work for ash, cone incense on a sand bed, or the odds and ends every skull shelf accumulates. The resin caution above is the honest hardware note the trade should always give. The tray transforms nothing on its own, as we say plainly of every skull on the shelf; it keeps five centuries of the frankest emblem on the table, and grins about it.
Step by step
