    Hi all. Picked up this gorgeous thing,but have no idea what it is ! The middle part is 4 inches high with lid on,3 1/2 wide,the bottom part is 2 inches high,4 wide. Theres no lip to keep the bottom attached to the rest. Any input is always appreciated.

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    It's pretty -- could be used to store other small things, too.

    It's funny - as an ashtray it should have indentations. Very pretty piece.
