Buck & Doe Incolay Stone Tobacco Tray Desk Valet
Item/Description: Vintage genuine Incolay stone desk valet or pipe rest tray, featuring a high-relief "Buck and Doe" deer hunting scene. Manufactured in the United States, the piece is composed of Incolay, a quartz-based composite material incorporating minerals such as sardonyx, carnelian, onyx, and agate, hand-stratified to simulate natural variegated stone. The molded form includes two curved side rests designed to cradle tobacco pipes, a central well for accessories such as tobacco tins or lighters, and a raised white cameo-style relief depicting a stag and doe in a woodland setting with a French hunting horn. The contrasting layered ground and sculptural overlay create a pictorial cameo effect characteristic of Incolay production. Reflects the cabin and Black Forest-inspired aesthetic popular in office and library decor during the 1960s–1980s.(Ashtray, Decorative Dish)
