ABOUT PRODUCTID 5918
This Bitossi ceramic ashtray from the 1960s exemplifies Italian utilitarian modernism. Measuring 21 × 18 cm with gently rounded corners, the piece is crafted from glazed ceramic and finished in a vivid, saturated red glaze with a high-gloss surface. The interior base features a geometric relief pattern of circles and triangles, reflecting the Rimini style and the mid-century modern aesthetic. Three cigarette rests are integrated into the rim: two placed side by side on one edge and one opposite, all smoothly incorporated into the form. The piece is signed by Bitossi, confirming its authenticity. Condition: visible signs of use, including minor chips and retouched glaze losses along the edges, consistent with original examples from this era. The saturated red glaze evokes the boldness of 1960s Italian design—a time when everyday objects gained artistic significance. The geometric relief speaks to a fascination with form and rhythm, inviting a slower appreciation of moments spent at the table. This ashtray tells the story of an era when color and detail were as important as function; the traces of time on its rim underscore its authenticity and enduring presence. Displayed on a low sideboard of pale wood or a marble surface, the ashtray’s decorative quality stands out. It fits seamlessly into mid-century modern interiors, where geometric lines and strong color accents create visual cohesion. It can be paired with other Italian 1960s accents, such as Murano glass or minimalist ceramics, or contrasted with black or gold finishes for a more eclectic effect. It is equally suited to collector’s spaces, where every detail tells its own narrative. The ashtray weighs 1 kg
