Description
Hand-crafted Ceramic ashtray by California Originals Pottery, USA. Model #223, it features a deep olive green glaze bordered by elaborate gold scrollwork, capturing the luxurious mood of Hollywood Regency design.
Originally made in the 1950s–60s for home cocktail bars and lounges, this piece has become a collector’s favorite for its bold color and sculptural presence. Each piece was individually glazed and hand-finished in California, giving it a subtle variation and warmth that modern reproductions can’t match.
Today, it’s just as chic as ever — use it as a valet tray for jewelry or keys, a conversation piece on your coffee table, or styled on a vintage bar cart with your favorite decanter set.
