This rare Art Deco ash tray, crafted circa 1935 and signed Nuart, is a wonderful example of the era’s inventive approach to decorative design. Featuring a sculptural elephant motif, this piece combines the playful elegance of Art Deco styling with functional craftsmanship.
The ash tray consists of a black ceramic tray paired and held by a striking green enamel elephant sculpture, showcasing an excellent use of contrasting materials and bold color palette typical of Art Deco design. The elephant’s stylized form reflects the movement’s love for geometric and modernist interpretations of animal figures, while the glossy finishes give the piece a polished, luxurious appearance.
