This is a Tulip Pedestal Ashtray, initially designed in 1956 by Eero Saarinen for Knoll. These particular pieces were produced in the USA in the 1960s. The design features a base formed of molded cast-iron which is powder-coated in a white satin finish. The trays are made of polished chromed-steel. The original Knoll bow-tie labels are present on the bottom of each base.

These ashtrays are becoming increasingly rare, and are a fabulous example of Saarinen's early design work (which gave way to the tulip series and beyond).

The listed price includes one ashtray, and we have two available for purchase.

Each ashtray measures 13 inches in diameter, and is 21.5 inches tall. There are some light scratches on the bases. The steel vessels are in good condition with no burn marks or damage. Overall, these ashtrays are in good condition with light wear. Please see photos.
