Step back in time to the elegant and luxurious era of Ocean Liners in the 1930s, as depicted in this collection of assorted Art Deco style Bakelite ashtrays. This vintage photograph, brought to you by Henry Aldridge & Son Ltd. from Mary Evans Prints Online, showcases a delightful assortment of ashtrays, each one adorned with intricate designs inspired by the iconic ocean liners of the time. Among the exquisite pieces featured in this image are the Cunard and Queen Mary ashtrays, both emblematic of the opulence and sophistication synonymous with ocean travel during the 1930s. The RMS Queen Mary, a British ocean liner that set sail in 1936, was renowned for its luxurious amenities and lavish Art Deco decor, making it an ideal inspiration for these stunning ashtrays. The Cunard ashtray, another standout piece, pays homage to the prestigious Cunard Line, a leading shipping company during the era of ocean liners. The company's iconic logo, featuring the crest of the British Lion and the motto "Carpe Diem," is elegantly displayed on the ashtray, symbolizing the seize-the-day spirit of travel and adventure that characterized this period. These ashtrays, crafted from Bakelite, a popular material during the 1930s due to its durability and resistance to heat, were not only functional but also served as cherished keepsakes and collectibles for passengers. The intricate designs and attention to detail in each piece reflect the unparalleled craftsmanship and artistry of the time. Transporting us back to a bygone era, this photograph offers a glimpse into the world of luxury and glamour that surrounded ocean travel during the 1930s. The assorted Art Deco style Bakelite ashtrays, with their timeless designs and rich history, continue to captivate collectors and enthusiasts alike, serving as a testament to the enduring allure of Ocean Liners and the golden age of transportation.
