Vintage Brass Ashtrays Crab

A substantial figural ashtray cast in solid brass, modeled as a crab with finely articulated legs and shell detail. The hinged carapace opens to reveal a concealed ashtray, blending whimsy with utility. At 8 inches wide, this piece carries notable presence, making it a rare find among mid-century brass novelties. Its weight, sculptural form, and naturally aged patina make it as much a decorative object as a functional accessory.
