Description from the seller

A rare, vintage-style ceramic ashtray, made in Japan during the Showa era, dating from approximately 1940 to 1960. These unusual pieces were primarily produced for export to Western markets.

The container is modeled as a complete skeletal torso, complete with a skull and a hinged, movable jaw. A vintage greyish-white glaze and tan antique shading are used to simulate skeletal texture. A unique collectible favored by rock, motorcycle, and dark aesthetic enthusiasts.

Marked on the base: Patent, T.T.

Dimensions: Height 10 cm, Width 9 cm, Depth 6.5 cm.

Includes: 1 skeletal ceramic ashtray, original kraft paper gift box as pictured.

Condition: Please see all photos for a complete impression; excellent vintage condition. No chips, cracks, or repairs. Jaw hinge operates freely, glaze intact.

Please note: Due to logistical limitations, shipping to remote or island areas (including the Canary Islands) is not possible. Shipping costs include all duties and clearance fees.
