Ancestor of the Traffic Cone

Ancestor of the Traffic Cone

Ancestor of the Traffic Cone (2003)

This is an antique traffic smudge pot. It has been cleaned up and has its original wick. These make great tiki torches for your outdoor living.

  • The fact that I remember these dates me a bit. I loved those smudge pots, though - they were always ringed around open manhole covers or wretched street digs. The flames shuddered.

    Street cones have a politeness. Those firey black cannonballs were HELLISH.

Orbit Trap -- A Group Blog Revolving Around Fractals and Fractal Art

This blog is a Cruel Animal Production.

All of my original art and poetry that appears on Blog with a View is © 1998-2008 by Terry Wright.

High quality Giclee and photographic prints are available for most of my images. All prints are done professionally and are limited editions made with archival inks and papers. I do not market my art in any other way -- like tee shirts, mugs, frisbees, or thongs.

To see much more of my art, and for more information on prints, including prices and sizes, please visit Rooms with a View by clicking the banner above. Feel free to email me if you are interested in a particular image for print purchase or other use.

Comments Policy: This is not a public forum. This is my blog. As such, I think of it as a personal space -- my home, as it were. Please act like a guest in my home. Anonymous comments are not allowed because I don’t throw open my door to strangers. Critiques and opposing views are welcome. However, I reserve the right to delete any comment that wanders into areas like spam, solicitation, hate speech, excessive profanity, off-topic rambling, personal attacks, threats, or any other behavior I consider unacceptable in my home. My house. My rules.

For what it's worth, I think this blog looks best in Firefox.

And thank you for looking...and for reading...
