An unexpected yet striking promotional item , this ashtray in the shape of a stylized molar is an iconic creation of the Fluocaril brand, famous in the 1950s and 60s for its dental hygiene products. Made of cream-glazed ceramic on the outside and green on the inside, it takes the form of a realistic tooth, hollowed out at the top to hold ashes or small objects. Designed to adorn pharmacy counters or dental offices, it embodies the humor and effectiveness of promotional items from that era.
