The heaviest cobalt of the four. A row of white teardrop palmettes with sky blue centers sits against an almost black blue, and the glaze on this one comes out very glossy. It looks better on a dark wood desk than a light one.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does it hold a cigarette properly?
Yes. The rim is pinched into rests that take a standard cigarette or an incense stick without it rolling off.
Will heat crack the glaze?
No. It is fired well above anything a cigarette produces. What does damage these is dropping them on tile, so keep it on a desk rather than a ledge.
How heavy is it?
Around 200 grams. Enough that a ceiling fan on full will not move it, which is the practical test in most Pakistani rooms.
Can I use it for food instead?
The glaze is lead-free, so a few olives or pistachio shells are fine. Once it has been used as an ashtray, keep it as one.
Handcrafted in Multan, Pakistan. Minor variations in color and pattern are natural features of authentic handmade work.
