Add a touch of Mid-Century Modern elegance to your collection with this vintage Israeli brass teardrop ashtray dish, priced at $40. Crafted in the 1950s–1960s by skilled artisans in Israel, this heavy 7 1/2" long x 5 1/2" wide x 1 1/2" tall piece features a distinctive pear-shaped design with a protruding handle and a rough hammered texture in the bowl, perfect for ash, trinkets, or decor.

Marked "Made in Israel" on the back, it hails from the post-1948 Israeli metalworking boom, where workshops in Jerusalem and Holon produced export-friendly brassware blending modernist curves with traditional hammering techniques. Inspired by organic forms and popular with American tourists and GIs, these pieces reflect Israel's early industrial craftsmanship, drawing from Bedouin metalwork traditions.

This solid brass dish shows slight oxidized discoloration (1/2" size in the center of the bowl), adding authentic vintage character—polishable if desired. Ideal as a catchall, for bar carts, jewelry storage, or as a MCM statement piece, shop this unique Israeli treasure now!
