A smooth white porcelain ashtray features a shallow circular dish flaring into wide, flat handles. A central raised medallion depicts two back-to-back faces surrounded by faint script and delicate swirls. The monochromatic object has a uniform, seamless texture, with its rim casting subtle shadows on the grey surface below. The entire piece maintains a clean, minimalist aesthetic through its fluid symmetry and consistent white finish.
