Patent TT - Ashtray (1) - 1950'sVintage naughty ashtray - Ceramic

This piece of history is both unique and beautiful in more ways than one. Its a vintage naughty ashtray from the 50's that works as decorative collectible alongside others, that may be in a display case or on a shelf at the office. It has moving parts that describe it's identity and character. The porcelain hips and legs you see elevated will smoothly rock back and forth with 1 tap for 30 to 40 seconds. Just simple and quarky like the idea, but genius in how it draws and holds attention to itself long enough for the beauty to be seen in every detail..... Of a naughty ashtray. Indeed. The idea may lack class, but the piece itself demands it when I look at it .
