Mano with ladybird ashtray

The Mano with Ladybird Ashtray celebrates one of the artist’s most symbolic motifs: the hand. Representing both the creative instrument and the subject of artistic expression, the hand has long been a recurring element in Piero Fornasetti’s imaginative universe. Enhanced by a delicate ladybird detail, this hand-decorated porcelain piece blends symbolism, elegance, and playful surrealism.

Part of Fornasetti’s collection of fine porcelain objects, this rectangular ashtray is designed to enrich contemporary interiors as a decorative accent, catchall tray, or collector’s piece. Whether used to hold small treasures, papers, or displayed as an artistic object, it reflects the exceptional craftsmanship and timeless creativity of the Milanese atelier.
