Vintage Lusterware Horse Carriage Ashtray
Vintage Lusterware Horse Carriage Ashtray
Carrying a quiet, nostalgic charm, this petite mid-century carriage features a sweet harnessed horse sculpted alongside an open well ready to cradle small daily belongings. Finished in an ivory glaze with soft holiday red and green accents, it settles naturally on a vanity, bedside stand, or entryway table to hold daily rings, coins, or matchsticks. The gentle character of Japanese export ceramics brings an unhurried, festive warmth to any quiet room.
