Earth & Fire  - Ashtray

A midnight vessel touched by fire: deep blue like burnt stone, scattered with golden starbursts that shimmer like sparks leaping from the hearth.

Each star is placed with intention, honouring the ancient pairing of earth and flame — the foundation and the ignition. The result is a piece that feels both grounded and alive, calm yet smouldering with quiet energy.

Each Oudism ashtray starts with a porcelain blend refined for purity and strength. The clay is cast and gently hand-finished, ensuring each edge and contour is impeccably smooth.

The piece enters a high-temperature kiln—exceeding 1,300°C—to achieve a delicate porcelain body that feels both feather-light and unmistakably substantial.

Over this form, a custom deep glaze is applied: enriched with tone, fine in reflection, and remarkable in its tactile subtlety. Designs—whether gilded lines, geometric patterns, or botanical motifs—are layered in featherweight strokes of gold, platinum, or hand-mixed ink. Each layer undergoes a secondary low-fire treatment to fuse the decoration seamlessly to the porcelain.

The final result is a piece that balances weight and lightness, ceremony and simplicity: made to cradle ritual, yet stunning enough to display.

Before arriving in your hands, every ashtray passes rigorous inspection: only those meeting our high standards of coloration, finish, and refinement are sent onward.
