Malachite Lot of various items - Height: 4 cm - Width: 15 cm- 2017 g - (2)

Stunning thematic ensemble "Mineral Green" consisting of two highly decorative living-room pieces from the Modernist period (1960-1970) 1) A large Brutalist-style desktop ashtray with rough outer edges, designed by Italian sculptor Romano Bianchi (Volterra). Made from solid emerald-green tinted alabaster, perfectly mimicking the swirls of malachite. It bears its original gold label intact: "RB - Genuine Alabaster - Hand Carved - Made in Italy". Width: approx. 15 cm. Weight: 1110 g. Smooth polished base. 2) A magnificent free-form bowl / catchall carved from a block of genuine natural malachite. The top face is superbly polished, revealing the mineral’s characteristic concentric eyes and halos, very graphic. The underside and the upper sides have been left in their raw sedimentary rock state, offering a striking contrast. Width: approx. 13 cm. Weight: 907 g. • Total weight of the lot: 2017 grams (see photos on the scale). • Condition: Excellent vintage condition, with no major chips or cracks affecting the structure. The polished bases and surfaces are impeccable. Perfect for Hollywood Regency or Mid-Century Modern decor. Fast and secure shipping
