I took delivery of a stack of lovely new books today. Oh how I love getting new decorating/design books- it is an addiction for me! Among them was ‘Domestic Bliss’ by Rita Konig - it came out years ago but after seeing the top pic (which was credited to the book) on a blog I decided I must get it. Only..there are no pics in the book! It still looks like a great read and I love the red and pink hardcover, but if you know the source of the top image please do let me know, and I’ll rush out and buy that too. I’ve been searching in vain for years for a stylish ashtray (oh no, not for smoking) like Rita’s signature pink one!

Hi there,
Sorry I can’t help you out with the source of this pic, but one tip I can give you is to Ebay ‘depression ashtray’ - best to search on US Ebay - if you haven’t already. You will find hundreds of bright glass and crystal ashtrays in bright blues, greens, orange and pinks. Not identical to the one pictured above, but very cute all the same. Hope this helps!
