{"product_id":"art-deco-bakelite-ash-tray-1930s","title":"Art Deco Bakelite Ash Tray - 1930s","description":"A striking example of functional Art Deco design, this Bakelite ashtray combines bold geometric forms with innovative materials characteristic of the 1930s. The marbled tortoiseshell-effect base is complemented by four sculptural black cigarette rests, while a circular glass insert appears to float elegantly above the composition, lending the piece a distinctly architectural character.\n\nOriginally produced as a promotional gift for physicians, the ashtray features a central glass disc that still bears the faint remains of the original medical product name - a subtle detail that offers a fascinating glimpse into its history. Rather than detracting from the object, this gentle trace enhances its authenticity and reflects its original purpose as a high-quality advertising piece.\n\nToday, the ashtray stands as both a collectible example of Art Deco design and an intriguing piece of medical advertising history. Whether displayed as a sculptural decorative object, a desk accessory or part of a Bakelite collection, its bold geometry, rich material contrasts and documented provenance make it a distinctive and highly characterful object from the interwar period.\n\n3cm high, 11x11cm\nsmall chip on the glass rim","brand":"Dodo Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57230802059529,"sku":null,"price":762.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0671\/5290\/4457\/files\/lptapb6r2mwm8cjpuyg0.jpg?v=1785502065","url":"https:\/\/oblist.com\/fr\/products\/art-deco-bakelite-ash-tray-1930s","provider":"The Oblist","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
