    This was between all the brass and yellow copper items nobody buys anymore. Not often that I find a solid chunk of red bronze made into something beautiful and useful. It sits perfectly level, too. Diameter is 5.5 inches. I don't think it has any real age to it, as the patina is just now starting to appear. A shame that it's not signed. This is most likely a studio piece made by a metallurgy student.

    Drop it on my foot, I won't. Break my toe, it will....

    Thanks for looking/loving, CW friends.

      LOL Caperkid! I have a vintage pottery bright orange ashtray for keys. made by Ravelli. Valkenburg is a place I visit regularly.

      http://www.retroselect.com/Ravelli/Ravelli1.htm

      "Jaap Ravelli's pottery (Potterij Ravelli) operated from Valkenburg, near Leiden, The Netherlands, from 1944 - 1977. Ravelli pottery climbed sharply in value in the 1990, and then suffered a serious slump in prices after the stock market crash of 2000. The black-and-white tiles, the tribal pieces, the Colorite, and the one-offs or unique pieces turned and decorated by Jaap himself ('unicas', in Dutch) are the most expensive. Rumour has it that Ravelli made some of the unique pieces as gifts for his many female friends. The pottery is hardly known outside The Netherlands and most of the collectors are Dutch (although Ravelli did export across the world). The bright orange pieces and bark-effect vases are still affordable.'
