This mid-20th century pink mermaid chalkware ashtray or catchall is a charming and whimsical piece that captures the playful spirit of vintage decor. The figure of the mermaid, adorned in a soft pink hue, is beautifully sculpted with intricate details, from her flowing hair to her graceful pose. Her tail forms a shallow dish, perfect for holding small items like keys, coins, or even serving as an ashtray. The chalkware material gives the piece a nostalgic, handcrafted feel, adding a touch of retro elegance to any space. Ideal for collectors of vintage memorabilia or anyone looking to add a unique and delightful accent to their home, this mermaid catchall is a testament to mid-century design and creativity.
There are small chips, which is unfortunately a common issue with vintage chalkware pieces. Even with the damage, this is a super cool piece to add to your collection. You may even feel an ambitious in your art skills and would like to attempt to make some repairs. I say go for it! I’d recommend using acrylic paints. less
