Made in Italy, it features a tall, elegant profile with a flared circular base and a cylindrical top accented by a chromed metal rim.

The vivid orange plastic body reflects the experimental material culture of the period, while the patented opening mechanism allows the ashtray compartment to be discreetly concealed. This combination of playful color, technical ingenuity and balanced proportions makes the piece equally suitable as a functional object or as a decorative accent in a design-driven interior.

The ashtray is in very good vintage condition, with light surface wear consistent with age. Minor scratches are visible on the plastic, particularly on the base, and there is light oxidation inside the ashtray compartment. The mechanism functions smoothly.

An expressive and collectible object that captures the optimistic spirit of Italian Space Age interiors. This piece has an attribution mark,
