About the Item

Large Mid-Century Danish Studio Pottery Ashtray in Bright Orange Glaze – Brutalist Fat Lava Bowl, 1950s–60s This striking Mid-Century Modern Danish studio pottery ashtray is a rare and sculptural find, handcrafted in the 1950s–60s. Featuring a bold bright orange fat lava glaze with a small splash of black in the center, this Brutalist ceramic bowl was originally designed as an oversized ashtray but now serves beautifully as a decorative catchall, centerpiece bowl, or wall-hung ceramic art. Expertly hand-thrown and glazed in vivid volcanic tones, the piece reflects the distinctive aesthetic of European mid-century ceramics, reminiscent of iconic West German pottery houses such as Scheurich, Bay, and Ruscha. * Color: Vibrant glazed orange with lava-like texture * Design: Circular form with three notches for cigarettes or cigars * Style: Mid-Century Modern, Brutalist, Fat Lava, Studio Pottery * Origin: Denmark, no hallmark * Material: Glazed earthenware ceramic * Condition: Excellent vintage condition – no chips, cracks, or flaws * Dimensions: 2” H x 9.5” diameter (10" including notches) This vintage ceramic ashtray is both functional and decorative—a perfect addition to a modernist interior, retro decor, or collector's display. Its exceptional scale and rich orange hue make it a standout piece for coffee tables, shelving, or wall-mounted ceramic installations.
