Add a touch of vintage charm to your decor with this delightful Japanese lusterware novelty figural ashtray. This 1930s Art Deco piece features a three-dimensional "lucky elephant" with hand-painted red-orange ears gracefully crossing an arched footbridge. The bridge spans over a triangular ash reservoir basin styled with a sandy, texturized base.The underside features a unique manufacturing characteristic: three distinct red "MADE IN JAPAN" backstamps layered near an incised factory design number "77". This type of triple stamping was standard practice for export porcelain during the era to ensure compliance with strict US import laws.While originally designed as an ashtray, this versatile piece makes an excellent trinket dish, ring holder, vanity soap tray, or a standalone conversational piece for collectors of Japanese lusterware, kitsch pottery, or tobacciana.Overall: Very good vintage condition with bright color and great display appeal.Surface: Features light, age-appropriate finish wear, minor paint loss on the bridge, and light factory surface glaze irregularities typical of early 20th-century Japanese pottery imports.Structure: Solid structure with no structural cracks.Please review all photos carefully as they form part of the item's condition description.
