  • Betty, Here the promised Savadian table ware items.  They carry the stamp savadian, after the shop was nationalized by the Eth. government, it carried only the silver mark and made in Ethiopia.  I am not sure if it were armenians who did the work.  They designed it  and  it was than made in their workplace which wer occupied with Ethiopian jewelers, because they were produced several years after it was nationalized, but look at the next photos. Of these I am sure they were done by Armenian jewelers as I watched them do it. GR. Ingrid.

  • can the ashtray be disassembled and the outer part worn as a bracelet? or is it fixed to each other ?
