AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Set of two ashtrays / pocket catch-alls with a raw edge. Handcrafted in natural veined onyx. It is a translucent natural stone known for its calcite stratifications and distinctive veining. These Mid-Century design objects from the 60s and 70s stand out for the layered bands that fade from mint green to cream, into the warm earth tones and burgundy. The left object preserves the rough, natural outer edge of the rock, while the right ashtray is fully carved and finished with a smooth, polished surface. Since they are carved directly from blocks of natural stone, each piece features a unique, unrepeatable vein pattern. Today they are considered Mid-Century Modern design classics and highly sought-after vintage collectibles.
Perfectly intact.
Left measurements: Height 2.8. Width 21. Depth 13.5 cm. Weight: 1000 Kg
Right measurements: Height 2. Width 13. Depth 7.5 cm. Weight: 0.300 Kg
