Product Details

These whimsical ceramic ashtrays were produced in Japan during the 1950s-1960s, part of the mid-century modern decorative arts movement when smoking accessories were common household items. Otagiri was a prominent Japanese manufacturer and importer known for producing charming ceramic giftware and home accessories that were widely exported to North America during this period. The playful design reflects the post-war optimism and the growing popularity of casual, cheerful home décor in both Japanese and Western markets.
