Whoever made this serving tray into what it is when it was picked up at a flea market, must have had lungs of steel and ashes. The colourful cigar bands reveal not only a healthy case of compulsive hoarding, but also of a less healthy smoking habit. The various faces elegantly look up, united on a platter, where once they only shared space in a box with their twins. Both smoking cigars and carrying tea on a tray are habits that soon will become obsolete. But forever, this tray will always remind us of the beauty of smoking.
