Vintage Italian Albergo Ristorante Hand-Painted Ceramic Ashtray
Proof that even an ashtray can have a passport stamp.
Vintage Italian ceramic advertising ashtray from an Albergo Ristorante, hand-painted with cheerful yellow, orange, blue and green florals and finished with bright yellow cigarette rests. The hand-lettered restaurant information circling the rim gives it exactly the kind of wonderfully specific, slightly imperfect charm we want from old Italian ceramics.
Use it as intended, or put it to work holding matches, jewelry, coins, olives, or whatever small thing currently has no assigned seat.
