Product Details

This unique vintage mid-century ceramic novelty ashtray features a detailed, glossy brown glazed monkey or chimpanzee sitting perched along the rim. The circular ashtray base showcases a vibrant, multi-colored volcanic or drip glaze effect blending warm ochre yellow, deep brown, and bright red accents within the wells and cigarette rests. The hollow-cast pottery figure captures a whimsical, expressive face with hand-painted eye details and a stylized curled tail along the back. It serves as a fantastic piece of retro tobacconist breweriana or barware, remaining in excellent glossy condition with no chips or cracks. It appears the piece was put together by the artist, combining two pieces of ceramic. Unsigned, maker unknown. Measures about 6 3/4 inches tall. Refer to the photos for a better idea of the style and condition, you will receive the exact monkey ashtray that is pictured.
