The Studio 75 ashtray is an example of 1970s German design, produced by Dumler & Breiden in the distinctive Fat Lava style. Crafted from glazed ceramic, it stands out with its saturated orange-red color and bold, glossy black accents. The square form with rounded corners features a deep, circular bowl at the center, adorned with a black spiral motif. The rim is embellished with raised, hand-shaped patterns reminiscent of stylized flowers or geometric ornaments, all highlighted with contrasting black. The high-gloss glaze gives the surface a wet, lustrous effect, while the texture alternates between smooth and tactile on the relief. The piece is signed and preserved in very good condition, with no visible chips, cracks, or signs of wear. This ashtray tells the story of an era when ceramics became a field for expressive color and bold form. The 1970s in Germany were marked by a fearless approach to everyday objects—intense color palettes, dynamic reliefs, and striking motifs that drew the eye and set the rhythm of domestic life. The spiral center, shimmering glaze, and contrasting ornamentation animate the piece, as if carrying the optimistic, expressive spirit of the decade—one that encouraged a dialogue between object and user. The ashtray can be used not only for its original purpose but also as an unconventional decorative accent. It would suit a low coffee table in a living room, alongside modernist vases or glass candle holders. It can be paired with other mid-century modern pieces, such as armchairs with geometric lines or lamps in metallic finishes. Both eclectic and collector's interiors allow it to shine—either as a solo feature or in conversation with other ceramic forms.
