About the Item

A rare and visually arresting three-piece smoking set designed by the renowned Italian sculptor Romano Bianchi during the 1960s. This set is a masterclass in Mid-Century Modern Italian craftsmanship, featuring a table lighter, a hinged box, and a sculptural ashtray. Hand-carved in Volterra, Italy, the set is crafted from genuine alabaster. What sets this collection apart is the intense emerald green pigmentation and the rugged, "rock-cut" texture of the exterior surfaces. This "brutalist" carving technique contrasts beautifully with the polished, smooth interior surfaces, showcasing the natural translucency and veining of the stone.
