Mid-Century Wooden Hexagonal Ashtray – Rustic Carved Catchall Dish

A hand-carved wooden ashtray with a hexagonal form, finished in a deep brown stain. Compact in size at 11 cm wide, it features a central bowl with notches at the edges, originally intended for use as a cigarette rest. Today, its simple geometric form and rich patina make it equally suitable as a small catchall dish for coins, keys, or jewellery.

Likely produced in the mid-to-late 20th century, this piece reflects the utilitarian craftsmanship of the period, when wooden decorative wares were popular export goods across Asia. Its natural wear and warm tone add to its rustic character, offering a versatile accent for vintage, bohemian, or minimalist interiors.
