A beautifully glazed large ashtray by Heath Ceramics of Sausalito, California. The vibrant mottled teal and turquoise speckle interior — graduating to deep black at the rim — showcases the exceptional glaze artistry that made Heath Ceramics one of the defining names in California Mid-Century Modern studio pottery. Founded by Edith Heath in 1948, the Sausalito pottery produced stoneware celebrated for its clean forms and richly nuanced glazes. At approximately 8 inches in diameter, this four-notch round ashtray works equally well as a catchall, trinket dish, or standalone decorative piece. Deep black gloss exterior. Maker's mark on base.
