Vintage Mercedes-Benz Dealership Ashtray

A striking piece of mid-20th century German automobilia. This glazed ceramic showroom ashtray was commissioned by Gebr. Conrady, a Mercedes-Benz dealership in Bitburg, Rhineland-Palatinate — a prestige object designed to impress showroom visitors during West Germany's postwar economic boom.

Deep midnight teal glaze with a boldly embossed three-pointed star at centre and the dealership name arcing around the rim. The ceramic is solid and weighty, with a smooth, high-quality finish that speaks to its showroom origins rather than mass-market production.

Perfect for Mercedes enthusiasts, vintage advertising collectors, or anyone drawn to objects with a genuine story behind them
