Brass ashtray in the style of Carl Auböck - 1950s

This organically shaped ashtray made of solid brass is a characteristic example of Austrian Mid-Century design from the 1950s. Its softly flowing, asymmetrical form is typical of the organic design language of that era and is often attributed to designs in the style of Carl Auböck or Werkstätte Hagenauer.

Crafted using the sand casting process, the unlacquered brass developed a beautiful dark patina with greenish nuances over the decades. It is precisely this natural aging that makes such vintage objects so appealing.

Originally designed as an ashtray, this piece is now often used as a catch-all dish for keys, jewelry, coins, or other small everyday items. With its sculptural form, it fits equally well into Mid-Century, Industrial, or modern interiors.
