Ceramic ashtray Musarra Maryjo – Vallauris, lava glaze, red accents

Musarra Maryjo ceramic ashtray – Vallauris

An impressive ashtray in an organic, undulating form by Musarra Maryjo from Vallauris – a famous center of artistic ceramics in the south of France. Clearly stamped "MUSARRA / MARYJO / VALLAURIS" on the bottom.

Bowl-shaped form with three characteristic indentations for cigarettes, covered with an impressive black and white lava glaze with a bubbly texture. The indentations and edge are decorated with an intense red glaze – the same characteristic black and red contrast as in the lemonade set by this manufacturer.
