Bring a celebrated piece of postwar Italian design into your home with this authentic Alvino Bagni Sea Garden art pottery ashtray. Crafted in Italy during the late 1960s to early 1970s, this sculptural ceramic showcases the dramatic volcanic glazes and organic textures that made Bagni's work internationally admired.
Finished in layered hues of turquoise, cobalt blue, olive green, bronze, and black, the heavy earthenware body features pierced sculptural detailing, applied oval bosses, and an integrated cigarette rest. While originally designed as an ashtray, today it serves beautifully as a decorative bowl, jewelry catchall, desk accessory, or display piece for Mid-Century Modern interiors.
The impressed ALV workshop mark, exceptional glaze, and strong overall condition make this a highly collectible example of Italian studio pottery.

💚 Cedar & Song Curator Review
Italian studio pottery rarely combines artistic presence and everyday function as gracefully as this piece. The vivid Sea Garden glaze, sculptural form, and impressed workshop mark make it an outstanding addition for collectors of Alvino Bagni, Raymor imports, and Italian Mid-Century Modern design. It is one of the finest examples in today's Cedar & Song collection.
