Art Pottery Penguin And Iceberg Ashtray

An enchanting art pottery ashtray modelled as a penguin standing on an iceberg — a whimsical subject rendered with genuine ceramic craft, the modelling of the bird and the textured surface of the ice convincingly detailed. Art pottery animal subjects of this type were produced by a number of small potteries during the mid-twentieth century and are sought by collectors for their quality of design and execution.
