This ceramic ashtray, designed by Daniel Andersen for the Danish manufacturer Michael Andersen & Son, originates from the 1930s and exemplifies Scandinavian Art Deco. The form is a harmonious blend of substantial, smoothly finished ceramic with a rounded, geometric profile, accented by striking 'bull's blood' (oxblood) glaze. The dominant deep red transitions into an almost black center, with feathered, flame-like accents radiating across the interior. Three evenly spaced notches on the rim provide functional rests for cigarettes, while the glossy, polished surface showcases an authentic patina and fine scratches in the central area—characteristic of its vintage origin. The overall condition remains good, with no cracks or chips, preserving its structural integrity and reflecting natural signs of use.

The oxblood sheen, with its dramatic gradation from crimson to black, conjures images of candlelight reflected in historic interiors—a detail that bridges utility with the decorative spirit of Scandinavian Art Deco. The ashtray can be paired with minimalist, geometric pieces from the 1930s or 1940s, such as simple nickel-plated candleholders or glass trays. It fits well within Art Deco-inspired collector’s interiors, but equally stands out in a contemporary living room, where its bold color and form become a focal point on a coffee table or console. It is worth combining with light-toned natural wood or matte stone to highlight the depth of the
