Royal Ceremony: Malachite Inspiration (1 of 100) - Ashtray

A field of deep green, veined with quiet movement and framed in pure gold.

The coachline — finished painstakingly by hand, with brush strokes of paint made from the purest of gold. This is not ornament but discipline: a steady gesture requiring stillness, patience, and complete devotion.

Each ashtray begins with Oudism Bone China, the highest grade of porcelain.

Renowned for its strength, delicate translucency, and warm ivory glow, bone china offers a refinement that few materials can match. It is cast from a finely milled clay blend, shaped with precision, and hand-smoothed so every contour feels impossibly soft beneath the fingertips.

The piece undergoes a high-temperature firing above 1,300°C, creating a body that is feather-light yet remarkably durable. Over this form, our malachite-inspired finish is applied — a swirling green finish echoing ancient stone and modern ritual. Once cured, artisans apply pure gold by hand, tracing borders in a single continuous motion. The gold is then kiln-fused at a lower temperature, binding it permanently to the bone china beneath.

The result is an object that balances ceremony and simplicity:

Light yet grounded, modern yet timeless — crafted for ritual, and beautiful enough to display even when not in use.

Before it reaches you, every piece passes through our final inspection.

Only those meeting our exacting standards of colour, finish, and refinement are allowed to leave the studio.
