Antique Brass Ballet Shoe Ashtray

An unexpected object with a little old-world charm.

Shaped like a delicate ballet flat, this decorative ashtray brings a playful, collected quality to a shelf, desk, or tabletop. Its antique brass finish highlights the sculpted details of the shoe, from the softly curved silhouette to the ornamental scrollwork along the sides.

Originally designed as an ashtray, the small clip at the toe is shaped to hold a single thin, rounded object. Today, we especially love it repurposed as a petite catchall for jewelry, matches, coins, or other tiny treasures—or simply displayed as an unusual sculptural object among a collection.

A wonderfully curious piece that feels like something discovered at an old European market.
