Fornasetti Round ashtray Civetta nella notte black/white/gold
A symbol of wisdom and foresight, the owl has long inspired Piero Fornasetti’s imagination. Here, it takes centre stage on this hand-decorated porcelain ashtray, refined with subtle gold accents. An object where the ordinary is transformed, and even the simplest gestures are infused with a sense of quiet magic.
Fornasetti’s universe spans portraits, anatomical drawings, animals and stars — a visual language where the decorative possibilities for porcelain ashtrays are virtually endless. Each piece acts as a small, expressive message, designed to inhabit and elevate any space.
Subtle variations between similar creations are a natural result of the artisanal process and affirm the individuality of each piece. A carefully curated collector’s object that unites symbolism, craftsmanship and timeless elegance.
