This ashtray, crafted by the ORNO Artistic Handicraft Cooperative in Warsaw during the 1960s, exemplifies Polish modernism where function meets artisanal precision. The round form, measuring 7.4 cm in diameter and 2.8 cm in height, is made of 3rd standard silver (800/1000), as confirmed by distinct assay marks and the ORNO signature. Three small hemispherical feet discreetly support the base, lending the object a sense of lightness and subtle architectural dynamism. The outer surface is finished using a guilloché or texturing technique, resulting in a raw, grainy appearance, while the interior remains smooth and mirror-like. Three ergonomic notches along the rim allow for convenient placement of cigarettes. The silver weight is 66.16 g. The condition is very good, with a noble, natural patina that accentuates the collectible pedigree of this piece.This ashtray carries the spirit of post-war Poland, where ORNO rejected conventions in favor of original vision and simplicity. Its minimalist form speaks the language of the 1960s—geometric, ascetic, yet subtly organic. The raw exterior texture evokes the atmosphere of artisan workshops, where every detail mattered, and the polished interior reflects light, conjuring memories of gatherings and conversations in modern
