Refined and architectural, this mid-century modern ashtray in polished green marble embodies the era’s fascination with sculptural form and enduring materials. The design balances simplicity with presence — a tapered triangular base contrasted by a smooth circular recess, where form meets function in quiet sophistication.
Carved from richly veined green marble, its surface reveals subtle shifts of tone from forest to smoke, highlighted by a natural sheen that catches the light with understated luxury. Both decorative and utilitarian, it serves as an objet d’art — equally at home on a curated coffee table or a minimalist desk.

A study in balance and craftsmanship, this piece exemplifies mid-century elegance — an ashtray reimagined as sculpture, where every curve and edge speaks to timeless design.
