Large Bronze Classic Heath Ashtray

This piece is cast in solid bronze by Nancy Pearce in her studio in Los Angeles. In Pearce's words "I seek to create an archive of everyday objects by casting them in durable solid bronze so that future archaeologists will have a few pieces of the puzzle to decode from my limited time on earth starting in the 1970s. When the original objects are long gone, the bronze artifacts will remain..." This piece is an homage to the iconic shape of Edith Heath's 1940s ashtray design.
