ASHTRAY LARGE GRIGIO OROBICO MARBLE

THE DESIGN

Grigio Orobico is quarried for its soft grey tone and delicate veining, an understated Italian marble that suits both classic and contemporary interiors. Each piece is cut and polished individually, so the veining you receive is entirely its own.

THE CRAFT

The bowl is cut on a CNC and the outer edge is then split by hand, the same way the old stonemasons worked, so the raw, quarry-cut face is left exposed against the polished hollow. No two pieces break the same way, which makes each ashtray genuinely one of a kind. Every finishing pass after the cut is done entirely by hand.

THE RITUAL

Sized for company: a 20 cm bowl with extra rests for more than one cigar at a time, ideal for a shared smoke among friends. At 5 kg it stays absolutely planted on the table, and the deep hollow keeps ash and stubs well below the rim. Marble is the right material for the job beyond looks: it takes a lit cigar set down mid-smoke without scorching, and it does not hold odour between sessions the way ceramic and wood do.

SPECIFICATIONS

WHO THIS IS FOR

• A lounge table, a terrace or a cigar room where more than one cigar burns at once • A centrepiece rather than an accessory • A match for a Litolite table lighter in the same stone

CARE

Clean the polished bowl with a soft, barely damp cloth only — acidic and limescale products etch polished stone permanently. The split faces are meant to stay raw and need no treatment. Handmade from natural materials: expect gentle variation in veining and tone from the photograph.
