This mid-century modern porcelain ashtray was produced by Wunsiedel Bavaria in Germany during the 1960s and captures attention with its expressive, biomorphic form, reminiscent of a gently folded leaf or wave. The interior reveals a vivid, high-gloss vermilion red that creates striking contrast with the softly matte, warm white exterior. Subtle ribbed lines along a segment of the rim add to the object’s rhythm and tactile appeal. Resting on a rounded, low pedestal, the ashtray is slightly elevated above the surface, emphasizing its sculptural presence. The glossy finish inside transitions to a soft matte on the outside, creating a dual sensory experience. The piece is preserved in excellent condition, with virtually no traces of use or signs of restoration; the porcelain retains its original character without visible repairs. This object echoes the spirit of 1960s German modernism—a period when even everyday accessories became carriers of progress and bold elegance. Its organic lines evoke associations of flowing movement and natural simplicity, while the red and white palette communicates the language of modernity. The undulating rim invites touch, suggesting that even functional objects can become miniature sculptures, holding their own in domestic space. This ashtray would pair well with interiors inspired by vintage or eclectic collections. It could be combined with dark wood, cut glass, or brass accessories, and placed on a minimalist console to highlight its color accent. In a modern setting, it may be arranged alongside other 1960s accessories to create a cohesive interplay of color and texture, or contrasted with contemporary elements to showcase the timeless
