MCM Hand Carved Alabaster Stone Ashtray Live Edge Dish

This vintage ashtray is a substantial piece of Italian craftsmanship, hand-carved from genuine alabaster to showcase the stone's natural beauty. The smoothly polished bowl features creamy yellow and ochre tones with subtle grey veining. The exterior has a rustic, natural live edge, creating a textural and visual contrast. Each piece of alabaster is unique, making this a one-of-a-kind decorative object. Dating to the Mid-Century Modern (MCM) era (c. 1960s-70s), it has its original foil label on the bottom confirming it was "Hand Carved" and "Made in Italy." While designed as an ashtray, this heavy stone bowl works as a catchall dish for keys and coins, a ring holder, or a decorative object. Condition: Excellent vintage condition. The stone is solid and free of major chips or cracks. The original "Genuine Alabaster" foil label is attached but is peeling and shows wear due to age. There are minor signs of use in the cigarette rests. See all photos for details. Dimensions: Approx. 5 inches long x 4.5 inches wide This Italian stone tray exemplifies organic modern design and is ideal for collectors of vintage barware, tobacciana, or handcrafted natural stone decor. A quality piece of retro home decor. #mcm #midcenturymodern #vintage #homedecor #stone #alabaster #ashtray #catchall #italy #italian
