Apple "Uncommon" Rainbow Logo Ashtray – Handcrafted Ceramic – Late 1980s - Macintosh

>> Extremely Rare Vintage Apple Rainbow Logo Ceramic Ashtray – Large

Whether you are looking for a unique holiday gift for a dedicated Apple collector, or wish to treat yourself as a serious collector of early Apple memorabilia, this is an exceptional opportunity to acquire something genuinely uncommon from Apple’s pre-digital golden age.
Opportunities like this do not come often.

An exceptionally rare and visually striking vintage Apple ashtray, featuring the iconic rainbow Apple logo, produced during the late 1980s or early 1990s – the golden era of Apple’s original branding.

This large-format ashtray (approx. 21 cm in diameter) is crafted from terracotta ceramic and finished with a deep, glossy glaze. The multicolour Apple logo appears to be hand-applied, giving the piece a distinctly artisanal character rather than an industrial, mass-produced look.

Notably, Apple never officially released ashtrays as consumer merchandise. For this reason, this object is widely believed to have been produced as a limited corporate or reseller gift, possibly for an Apple distributor, dealer network, or internal use within the Benelux region.

Comparable examples are extremely scarce; the seller has only encountered this model twice over many years. The underside is fitted with a green felt backing (reminiscent of billiard table cloth), protecting surfaces and further indicating that this was intended as a high-quality display or desk object.
