Ashtray Calacatta

Calacatta is quarried in the same Apuan Alps as Carrara, but is the rarer of the two: where Carrara reads as a soft, even grey-white, Calacatta is prized for its bright white body crossed by bold, dramatic veining in gold and grey. Each slab is distinct, and the cut is chosen so the veining falls across the piece rather than running off one edge.

Split by hand, finished by hand

The bowl is cut on a CNC and the outer edge is then split by hand, the same way the old stonemasons worked, so the raw, quarry-cut face is left exposed against the polished hollow. No two pieces break the same way, which makes each ashtray genuinely one of a kind. Every finishing pass after the cut is done entirely by hand.

Built for the cigar

Designed to comfortably hold cigars for a shared moment, at 2.5 kg it stays planted on the table and the broad rests hold a cigar securely between draws. The base is finished with an eco-leather backing bearing the Litolite logo, easy to clean and stain-resistant, as much a décor accent as a functional piece for a home, office, or cigar room.

Care

Clean the marble with a soft, barely damp cloth only: acidic and limescale products etch polished stone permanently, and on a pale marble like Calacatta any staining shows most.

Frequently asked questions

Is this ashtray made for cigars?
Yes. The bowl and the rests are proportioned for cigars rather than cigarettes.

Is marble safe with hot cigar ash?
Yes. Solid marble tolerates the heat of resting ash. Simply avoid placing an open flame directly on the stone.

Will it look exactly like the photos?
No. Each piece is cut from natural Calacatta marble, so veining and tone vary. No two are ever alike.

How do I clean it?
Wipe with a soft dry cloth after use. For deeper cleaning use a slightly damp microfibre and dry immediately, and avoid acidic or abrasive products.

Is it handmade in Italy?
Yes. Each piece is machined from solid stone and hand-finished in Italy.
