Rich red, black, and flesh-tone painted details contrast with the naturally veined white alabaster base. The shallow carved dish functions as an ashtray or decorative catchall, combining a practical smoking accessory with the elegant figural ornament associated with Art Deco-era decorative objects.

J. B. Hirsch was an American importer and distributor of decorative giftware and figural objects during the early 20th century, including sculptural smoking accessories influenced by contemporary European designs.
