Calavera Ashtray
This ashtray was inspired by a famous mexican illustrator, José Guadalupe Posada. His most famous illustration called "La Catrina" is the principal inspiration for this funny ashtray.
This design serves as a hidden ashtray for those who smoke.
Closing the skeleton helps the ash or smell stay within.
Back and Front
There is some sarcasm in the design, since this is an ashtray in form of death. To countinue with the sarcasm, some traditional sayings or rhymes are added to the back of the skeleton. The translation is the following:
(over the skeleton's back ) It's better to have a great death than a bad life.
(right 1st poem) The dead to the grave and the living making pranks.
(right 2nd poem) There´s nothing stronger than love and death.
(right 3rd poem) Blessed death when it comes after great living.
