Hello, this item is a small cast metal ashtray, measuring approximately 11 × 8 cm, featuring a raised Art Deco–style figural relief of an elegantly dressed couple in period attire. Based on the form, stylization of the figures, and warm brass-toned surface, this appears to be a mid-20th century decorative ashtray, likely produced between the 1930s and 1950s, made in spelter or brass rather than precious metal. These types of figural ashtrays were widely manufactured in Europe and Australia during the interwar and postwar years as novelty household objects, often inspired by fashionable silhouettes of the Art Deco era. The casting quality is typical of mass-produced decorative wares, and no maker’s marks are visible from the provided images. Condition appears good overall, with even surface patina and no visible cracks or structural damage, only light wear consistent with age and handling.

From a market perspective, comparable unmarked figural brass or spelter ashtrays from this period generally sell between USD 40 and USD 120 depending on design appeal and condition.
