Des-Line Pink Ceramic Ashtray — Atomic Age Triangular, #361, Made in USA, 1950s
A quintessential piece of 1950s American design — a triangular ceramic ashtray in a soft dusty rose / blush pink matte glaze by Des-Line®, stamped on the base with model number #361, Made in USA. The boomerang-inspired triangular form with gently rounded corners is pure atomic age, and the color is the iconic mid-century pink that defined postwar American interiors from the kitchen to the living room.
The interior features a raised five-slot cigarette rest running diagonally across the bowl, with a small square notch at the pointed end — a thoughtful, functional design detail. The matte glaze is smooth and even throughout, and the piece sits flat on three molded feet.
