A charming vintage onyx ashtray featuring a hand-carved elephant figure, mounted on a polished stone base with an integrated ash bowl. Carved from pale green onyx with natural veining and warm amber inclusions, this piece blends sculptural interest with practical form.

Likely dating to the mid-20th century, it reflects the era’s fondness for animal motifs and decorative stoneware. Whether used as an ashtray, trinket dish, or purely as a display object, it works beautifully as a characterful accent on a coffee table, desk, or shelf.
