This is a ceramic object distributed exclusively by Olivetti Japan. It has a smooth texture and the Olivetti logo on the back. The brown color also gives it a somewhat Japanese pottery-like atmosphere. The design is by Yoshitaka Sakuma, a Japanese designer active in Italy. It appears to be from the 1970s. Olivetti novelties have collectors all over the world, and for some items, there is a lot of detailed information. However, there was not much information available for this item, possibly because it was a Japan-exclusive. Its exact purpose, whether as an ashtray, fruit dish, or simply an object, could not be determined. *As it is made of ceramic, there are some original imperfections such as round dots and indentations on the bottom where it would rest. There are no visible chips or scratches, but there are some age-related stains and faint lines that are only visible when held up to the light. Please understand that this is a vintage item before purchasing. ◯Size (Amateur measurements, so there may be some errors) Width: 24 cm Depth: 24 cm Height: 5.5 cm
