Pure Italian Craftsmanship, Carved from a Rare Stone
Handcrafted in Italy from authentic Belgian Black marble (Nero Belgio), one of the rarest and most exclusive natural stones in the world. Known for its deep, intense black color and subtle veining, this marble transforms into a sculptural, timeless object under the hands of our artisans.
Each ashtray is unique — born from the raw power of nature and refined through the precision of Italian mastery. The natural split finish enhances the stone’s organic texture while preserving its luxurious essence.

Belgian Black Marble Ashtray, Hand Carved
Where raw elegance meets timeless design. This piece is left with a natural split face, the marble's raw, quarry-cut texture set directly against its polished bowl, so the contrast between untouched stone and finished craftsmanship is part of the design itself.
Nero Belgio is a rich black marble, celebrated since the seventeenth century for a depth of colour that furnished European palaces. Here it is worked into a substantial, sculptural ashtray built to anchor a room rather than simply furnish it.
Split by hand, finished by hand
This is the most hand-worked piece in the collection. The stone is split by hand, the way the old stonemasons worked, and every finishing pass is done entirely by hand, so the rugged split faces meet a smooth polished hollow with no two pieces ever alike. That contrast, raw against refined, is the whole character of the object.
Built for the cigar
The proportions are made for cigars rather than cigarettes: a deep bowl that takes a full ash column without it banking against the rim, and rests cut for a 50 to 54 ring gauge. Five kilos of Nero Belgio will not move when a lit cigar is set down, and the stone neither scorches nor holds odour between sessions.
Care
Clean the polished areas with a soft, barely damp cloth only: acidic and limescale products etch polished stone permanently. The split faces are meant to stay raw and need no treatment.
Part of the ritual
This piece belongs to our handmade marble ashtray collection, and sits naturally alongside a marble table lighter or one of our luxury humidors for a complete Italian cigar setting.

Frequently asked questions
Is this ashtray made for cigars or cigarettes?
For cigars. The bowl is deep enough to hold a full ash column and the rests are cut for a 50 to 54 ring gauge.
Why does each piece look different?
The face is split by hand and the marble is natural, so veining, texture and the line of the split vary on every piece. No two are alike.
Does the raw split face need sealing or treatment?
No. The split faces are meant to stay raw. Only the polished bowl needs the occasional gentle clean.
How do I clean it?
Wipe the polished areas with a soft, barely damp cloth. Avoid acidic or limescale products, which etch polished stone permanently.
Will it stay put with a cigar resting on it?
Yes. At five kilograms of solid Nero Belgio, it stays exactly where you place it.
How long does delivery take?
Each piece is handmade to order, so please allow roughly 2 to 4 weeks.
