Vintage Ceramic Mercury Resort Motel, Miami Beach

This vintage ashtray comes from the Mercury Resort Motel, a mid-century Miami Beach vacation destination that operated during Florida’s tourism boom of the 1950s and 1960s. Like many classic beach motels of the era, it welcomed travelers arriving by car and offered a taste of sunny South Florida before the skyline became dominated by modern high-rises. Today, pieces like this ashtray are small reminders of Miami Beach’s colorful roadside resort culture
