A beautifully glazed large ashtray by Heath Ceramics of Sausalito, California — one of the most celebrated American studio potteries of the 20th century. Founded by Edith Heath in 1948, Heath Ceramics became synonymous with the California Mid-Century Modern aesthetic: clean forms, earthy tones, and exceptional glaze work. This four-notch round ashtray features a striking mottled blue-gray celadon speckle interior glaze that shifts subtly in different lighting, set against a deep black-brown gloss exterior. At approximately 8 inches in diameter, it makes an equally strong statement as a catchall, trinket dish, or decorative display piece. Marked with the impressed Heath stamp on the base.
