The piece features a slender curved black lacquered metal structure ending in a softly shaped salmon-colored ashtray cup with removable chrome ring and brass sphere feet. Its refined proportions and light sculptural silhouette give the object a strong decorative identity while maintaining a visually delicate presence.

The contrast between matte black metal, warm salmon tones and reflective metallic details creates a restrained but highly sophisticated composition typical of Italian decorative design from the period.

Originally conceived as a functional smoking accessory, the object now works equally well as a sculptural decorative accent capable of adding personality and atmosphere to contemporary interiors.

Vintage condition with visible signs of age and use, including scratches, paint losses, oxidations and light dents. Structurally solid and stable. See less
