Fornasetti Tema e Variazioni No.137 Round Ashtray

The Tema e Variazioni No.137 ashtray enhances the creativity of Piero Fornasetti, transforming an ordinary object into a small visual story.

On the round ashtray made of hand-decorated porcelain, Lina Cavalieri's face emerges with a surprising detail: a flower between her lips, a symbol of irony, delicacy and sensuality. This detail gives the object a playful and unexpected character, typical of the spirit of the Tema e Variazioni series, where reality and imagination meet in a continuous dialogue. In addition to decoration, the ashtray offers practicality: it can be used as an emptying tray, jewelry box or small container for personal items, adding a refined accent to any room. Its compact shape and simple lines allow it to be placed on tables, shelves or desks, while handcrafting ensures that each piece has minimal variations, making it unique. The contrast between the white of the porcelain and the black features of the face creates an immediate and striking visual effect. Ashtray No. 137 stimulates curiosity and enriches furniture with irony and personality.
