The large Perignem Amphora ceramic ashtray from the 1970s exemplifies bold Belgian design, rooted in the brutalist and minimalist trends of the era. Crafted from glazed ceramic, it features a vivid, saturated red-orange interior and rim, transitioning into a matte anthracite grey on the outer sides. The elongated rectangular form (20 × 11 cm, height 3.5 cm) and two sculptural cigarette rests integrated along the longer side emphasize both functionality and decorative intent. The unique glaze, with subtle, irregular borders between colors, and the matte exterior highlight the handcrafted nature of Perignem's workshop. The ashtray is preserved in very good vintage condition, free from visible damage or restoration, with only minor, natural glaze variations typical for 1970s ceramics. This object transports one to the 1970s, when daring colors and pure forms were an expression of modernity. The fiery glaze—between orange and red—seems to vibrate with energy, while the geometric shape quietly echoes an era when design was as practical as it was visually striking. Matte sides contrast with the glossy interior, as if the ashtray itself tells a story of tension between the rawness of brutalism and the vitality of color. Its clean lines and intense hues carry the spirit of Belgian ateliers, where the artisan’s hand leaves a trace of individuality in every glaze transition. The Perignem ashtray can serve as a striking centerpiece on a vintage coffee table, its bold color highlighting a collector’s space. It may be paired with minimalist vessels in neutral tones, art glass, or a concrete tray to accentuate its architectural presence. It will work beautifully in mid-century modern settings, but can just
