Inspired by Chapter 19, Part 1 of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea; in which the Nautilus ventures to the coral-rimmed Vanikoro Islands, this porcelain ashtray from the Vanikoro Collection captures the vivid beauty and rich detail of the underwater world. The deep blue lacquer finish, layered to resemble water in motion, is accented by hand-painted chrome highlights that trace the intricate “coral” motif symbolic of reef life.
Crafted with care and designed to elevate your cigar ritual, this ashtray measures approximately 110 × 110 × 20 mm and weighs 165 g, making it a refined and compact accessory. It reflects S.T. Dupont’s signature technique: multiple lacquer layers, fine porcelain form and a narrative of exploration, inviting your enjoyment of cigars to transcend function and become art.
The Vanikoro motif evokes coral gardens, vibrant marine hues and the sense of discovery beneath the waves. Whether displayed on your humidor or used during a quiet moment of indulgence, this piece brings the spirit of adventure and elegance to your space.
