AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Large Brutalist Cigar Ashtray - 6kg Solid Green Alabaster - Hand Carved - Italy 1970s
Incredible and majestic monumental cigar ashtray in Green Alabaster, entirely hand-sculpted in Italy (Volterra area) in the 1970s.
This item is not just an ashtray, but a true Brutalist design piece with a strong visual impact. It stands out for its extraordinary weight of 6 kg, a rare feature that guarantees absolute stability. The design plays on material contrast: the exterior is left in its raw, rugged state (quarry split), while the interior is finely smoothed to reveal the deep and spectacular emerald and moss veining typical of precious alabaster.
Details of authenticity and structure:
Measurments: Width 19.5 cm | Height 12 cm.
Capacity: The inner cavity is deeply 7 cm, ideal for long sessions and to accommodate cigars of substantial size.
Original marks: On the bottom there is the original blue and gold label "Genuine Alabaster - Hand Carved - Made in Italy", essential for certifying the material and provenance.
Condition: Excellent vintage condition. The stone is intact, with no structural cracks; marks on the base attest to the handcrafted work of the era.
A display piece perfect for a professional studio, a smoking club, or a design living room.
