Art Deco 'El Morocco" Nighclub Ashtray Dish

A striking example of Art Deco utility, this vintage ashtray originates from the storied El Morocco—one of Manhattan’s most glamorous nightlife destinations during the mid-20th century.

Rendered in a soft powder blue glaze, the piece features the distinctive “Snuff-a-rette” design, with sculptural ridges and geometric rests that embody the clean lines and functional elegance of the Deco era. The stylized “El Morocco” script adds an unmistakable touch of provenance, tying the object directly to a world of tuxedos, cocktails, and late-night sophistication.

Both decorative and practical, it functions beautifully as an ashtray or catchall—equally at home on a bar, desk, or cocktail table.

A rare and evocative piece of New York nightlife history, capturing the spirit of an era when design and indulgence went hand in hand.
