Bitossi Ceramic Ashtray / Catchall – Made in Italy
A richly textured and beautifully glazed vintage Bitossi ashtray or catchall, hand-crafted in Italy and bearing the unmistakable character of mid-century Italian ceramic artistry. This sculptural piece features an earthy ochre glaze with raised geometric motifs and hand-incised detailing, emblematic of the Bitossi Ceramiche workshop and its bold, architectural style.
Whether used functionally as an ashtray, catchall, or simply displayed as an art object, this piece brings a warm, tactile presence to any space. The glaze has a subtle metallic luster, and the intricate surface patterning speaks to the studio's legacy of combining traditional craftsmanship with modern design language.
Highly collectible and versatile, this is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Italian design history that complements both modern and eclectic interiors.
