Hand-Turned Mid Century Solid Wood Ashtray with Felt Base

This hand-turned solid wood ashtray has a deep central basin with a wide, gently rounded rim, balanced and intentional in proportion. The exposed end-grain center shows natural growth rings and stabilized radial checking, giving the surface depth and quiet visual interest.

The exterior is smoothly turned and finished to a warm satin sheen that highlights the grain without gloss. The green felt base is a period-correct detail, protecting surfaces while firmly placing the piece in the mid-century era. Even for non-smokers, pieces like this are now collected as sculptural objects and often used as catchalls or desk pieces.

Vintage condition with age-appropriate wear. Natural checking and grain variation at the center are inherent to the material and consistent with mid-century studio wood objects.
