Classic Mid-century modern fish ashtray with inner bone-like rests.
Your smoke rests on the ledge, is secured by the white rests and the smoke drifts out the fish mouth.
Beautiful brown, dark maroon and creamy tan glaze is high gloss and plays havoc with the camera lighting. The glaze is perfect, there is no white haze as shown in images.
Made of red clay, called "red-ware' in the potter's world.
Measures 6.5" long, 3" wide and 6" tall. No maker's mark. This could indicate it was made in the 1940's before the end of WWII.
