EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing ashtray, crafted from a repurposed 18-pounder shell case, bears the marks of war and history. The rough, textured brass exterior is a testament to the intense battles of the past, while the smooth, polished center holds a fused cap, a reminder of the explosive power once contained within. The word "YPRES" is boldly cut into the metal, referencing the historic city in Belgium that was the site of some of the fiercest fighting during World War I. This trench art piece, created from a decommissioned artillery shell, is a unique and poignant reminder of the topographical and military history of the First Great War. The fusion of art and war memorabilia creates a thought-provoking conversation piece, inviting reflection on the past and the transformative power of creativity.
