A steel high boot. I'm incredibly OCD, so now I'm going to be quite irritated with the face that there's only ONE steel boot and not the other. Well, at least I've got a legendary armorer...

It would have to be an artefact for symmetry reasons.

My first ever artifact was an obsidian lever that menaced with spikes of soft leather. On it, engraved in obsidian, was an image of the lever.
I was displeased. On the other hand, it was hooked up to the floodgate that caused my first ever fortress flood, so that wasn't so bad.

My favourite 'lame artifact' would probably be my simplest. One of my dwarves grabbed a single wafer of adamantine and began his construction in the craftsdwarf workshop. What I got was a toy boat made out of solid adamantine, probably my most valuable artifact.

Amusingly, two of my adamantine artifacts had names related to them being worthless.

This artifact happened in a succession fort during my turn; it's notable not just for being crappy, but also terrifying.

Had a ring and a toy boat artifact, but they weren't that useless since they made two of my useless dwarves into legendary engravers.  :)

Drop the dwarf who made it, and the artifact into magma.

Razorfilled the Feral Purge - a chicken bone piccolo. 

I wonder if it still has any little bits of meat clinging to it?

My brother got a mudstone box.  Decorated with mudstone.

I mean, technically, it serves more purpose than an earring.  And mudstone isn't less valuauble than, say, bauxite.  But "mudstone box" just sounds so pathetically worthless.
