Roberto Rigon per Bertoncello - Roberto Rigon per...

Ashtray / sculptural cigarette holder on a table, catalog model 768, designed by Roberto Rigon for the Bertoncello Ceramiche d'Arte manufactory (Schiavon, Vicenza), dating from the 1970s. The object features a geometrical cylindrical, thick-walled structure, with a deep peripheral concave groove that houses a single through-side hole. The top presents two opposing rows of five parallel recesses for the accommodation of cigarettes. The piece is finished with the characteristic matte glaze called "Tobacco Speckled" (Screziato Tabacco), distinguished by a tactile texture in beige tones with brownish shading and dark brown edges. The lower base bears the inventory number 768 handwritten in blue enamel, confirming the authenticity and correct cataloging of the model. The specimen is offered in excellent structural condition, without restorations or chips. Please refer to the photo gallery for a detailed assessment of the surface and patina.
