FLORENCE DUOMO CATHEDRAL VINTAGE SILVERED METAL SOUVENIR BUILDING ASHTRAY ITALY

Description

Vintage metal souvenir building of the Cathedral of Florence, Italy, known as the Duomo, mounted to an ashtray base.
This old souvenir building dates from the 1950's and is cast in metal with a silver-grey finish and excellent sharp detail, from the lantern on top of the dome to the windows and arches on the Campanile. The front of the Cathedral is embossed "FIRENZE", and the ashtray bowl "RICORDO DI FIRENZE". The underside of the base is covered in a red faux-leather cardboard.
The Cathedral by itself measures 2.75" tall by 3.25" long by 2" wide. The entire piece on the ashtray measures 3.5" tall by 6" long by 3.5" wide, and weighs almost 1 lb.
This older version of the Duomo is in excellent shape and would make a fine addition to your souvenir building or Italy collection.
