Couldn't load pickup availability
Stunning, massive vintage Mid-Century Modern ashtray handcrafted from genuine natural red alabaster stone. Made in Italy, circa 1960s/1970s. Weighing in at 8 pounds, this is a heavy, substantial piece.
Polished center basin + rugged, raw-cut live edge exterior.
Rich coral, deep orange, and crimson tones with dark veins. Perfectly as an ashtray or catch-all/vide-poche bowl.
This is from a South Minneapolis estate with interesting music scene-adjacent provenance- if you'd like more context/history, feel free to ask! :)
8" L x 6" W x 2" D
Condition: please examine photos closely- there are natural structural variations and it's a little tricky to discern what's natural from what may be wear from use over time.

Shipping
The Fine Print• 100% secondhand packaging
• intentionally slow in-house service levels
• ground shipping only
This is climate-competent commerce, and we talk a bit more about each of these strategies on our 'official' shipping policy page:
-
Proactive Satisfaction + Refunds
Refund policyWe have adopted a 'generally generous' approach to fulfilling many of our product listings, as sending a wee bit extra can avoid costly errors & 'fix it' shipments (besides, we find most folks appreciate the occasional freebie).
.
That said, if you would prefer to avoid the extras, we will gladly rightsize or downsize your order on request (product price would remain the same because more labor + less product = wash). If you prefer this option, please include a detailed order note to specify the quantity you wish to recieve (i.e. 'please send precise count of 7 for XYZ product').
.
As a rule, we discourage returns - but we also don't abide crappy customer experiences. To initiate issue resolution in the event that we miss the boat with your order (gaps happen!), head to our refund policy page (linked here - and at the bottom of any page) to get started.
