This alabaster ashtray from the 1950s exemplifies mid-century modern table décor with a refined sense of materiality. Its circular form, gently stepped geometric profile, and shallow central depression are crafted from warm, creamy-white alabaster, featuring subtle natural veining and characteristic translucency. The edge is framed by a decorative metal rim in an antique gold tone, adorned with a repeating embossed oval and cross motif. The metal's subtle patina enhances the vintage appeal, while the transition between stone and metal is smooth and precise. With dimensions of 15.5 cm in diameter and 2.5 cm in height, this piece balances decorative value and functionality. It is preserved in very good condition, with only delicate traces of use consistent with authentic mid-century objects. This ashtray echoes the voice of the 1950s—a time that found beauty in the simplicity of materials and restrained elegance of form. The alabaster's play of light and its nuanced, organic veining evoke the atmosphere of intimate salons, where stone and metal met on small yet meaningful objects. The gold-toned metal rim, with its rhythmic relief, hints at a period when even an ashtray reflected conscious design and attention to detail. The ashtray can be paired with other mid-century accessories: low ceramic vases, glass trays, or wooden serving boards. It would work well on a 1950s coffee table or a veneered sideboard, where the warm shades of stone and gold accentuate the chosen interior character. In more eclectic settings, it may be combined with objects of varying textures—glass, ceramics, brass—to highlight its collectible and versatile quality. The listed price refers to a single piece.
