About the Item

Charming and sculptural, this vintage brass turtle ashtray brings a playful mid-century touch to any interior. Cast in solid brass, it features a beautifully detailed turtle body with a removable shell-shaped top that doubles as its own ashtray or catchall. Both pieces nest together seamlessly, offering two functional surfaces in one whimsical design. The brass shows a warm, naturally aged patina that highlights the shell texture and hand-tooled details along the limbs. This style of figural brass accessory became popular during the mid-20th century, valued for its blend of artistry and function. Perfect on a coffee table, bar cart, desk, or entry vignette. Ideal as an ashtray, catchall, incense holder, or purely decorative object. Two available — price is per piece. They look especially charming styled as a pair. Upon request, we are happy to polish the brass for a brighter, shinier finish at no extra charge. If it’s a gift, we can also wrap it beautifully at no additional cost — just let us know. All orders are carefully packed and shipped within 24–48 hours.
