    My favorite ashtray from my collection.
    Designed by surrealist artist Salvador Dali in 1967 for Air India. This ashtray was to be given out to Air India first class passengers. The ashtray is composed of a shell shape with a serpent twined around its perimeter and supported by 3 surrealist swan elephants. Dali requested to be paid with a baby elephant so he could achieve his long life dream of following in Hannibal's footsteps and re-enact the crossing of the Pyrenees 2000 years ago.

    Designed by Salvador Dalí
    Decorated by Jules Teissonniere
    Manufactured by: Limoges
