Mid-Century Italian Alabaster Ashtray


Mid-Century Italian Alabaster Ashtray
A study in organic luxury, this mid-century green Italian alabaster ashtray blends natural beauty with sculptural form. Hand-carved from richly veined onyx, its surface reveals deep tonal variations of moss, olive, and gold, each unique to the stone’s formation. The shallow bowl and softly irregular edges reflect the artisan’s touch, celebrating both imperfection and refinement.
Once a symbol of leisure and style, today it serves as a statement accent — equally striking as a catchall, jewelry dish, or simply as an object of art. The weight and polish of the stone lend a sense of permanence, grounding any space in quiet sophistication.
