ABOUT PRODUCTID 32741
The Hohr Studio ashtray is a representative example of 1970s German design, produced by Dumler & Breiden. Crafted from glazed ceramic with a robust, thick-walled structure (16.5 cm diameter, 6.5 cm height), it features a matte charcoal black exterior adorned with repeating turquoise and teal abstract spiral motifs. The matte, satin-finished outer surface contrasts sharply with the glossy, warm ochre-brown glaze inside. Three evenly spaced notches along the rim provide convenient rests for cigarettes. The decorative spirals are subtly raised, offering a tactile dimension to the piece. The base bears a numerical signature and the original manufacturer’s sticker, confirming its authenticity. The ashtray is in very good vintage condition, with no visible chips, cracks, or notable signs of wear. This ashtray resonates with the spirit of 1970s German modernism: geometric repetition and bold color bring to mind the era’s fascination with form and glaze, epitomized by the ‘Fat Lava’ movement. The interplay between matte black and glossy ochre speaks to the era’s taste for contrast and expressive surfaces, while the object itself tells a story of everyday artistry. The swirling motifs seem to turn on their own axis, inviting the viewer to engage from multiple angles. The Hohr Studio ashtray would suit both a collector’s display and a vintage-inspired living room. It can be paired with other mid-century West German ceramics, such as Fat Lava vases, or set atop a solid wooden table where its striking finish stands out. It may also serve as an unconventional catchall or decorative accent in minimalist settings, surrounded by matte metals and glass objects. The listed price refers to a single piece.
