This square onyx dish or ashtray, crafted in Italy in the 1970s, balances geometric clarity with the organic character of natural stone. Its sharply defined, intact edges frame a polished surface that reveals a rich gradient of browns, from deep chocolate through caramel and beige to cream, with occasional warm ochre and reddish veins and subtle translucency. The precisely carved, round central depression features two gentle notches on the rim, allowing use as an ashtray or as a decorative bowl for jewelry and small objects. The design, minimalist and unadorned, reflects Italian mid-century modern principles—emphasizing the inherent beauty and singularity of onyx. The piece is preserved in excellent condition, free from chips, cracks, or any visible signs of damage; the authentic surface and corners remain sharp and show careful storage typical for well-maintained stonework of the era. This relic of the 1970s channels a sense of everyday sophistication, letting the stone’s layered natural pattern become the subject. The striations of onyx, formed over millennia, seem to narrate the passage of geological time
