Alabaster Ashtray
Italy · 1970s
$475
An organic form with a raw, irregular edge — preserved rather than refined away. The natural translucency and warm mineral tones shift as light moves across it, making it an object that looks different at noon than it does at dusk.
a note from Chase
Alabaster at this scale and with this kind of raw-edge treatment is uncommon. The dual character of the rough exterior against the honed interior bowl gives it genuine tension as an object.
