Quick answer
Choose the Sunset Orange Fine Ash Dunny if you want a vintage-inspired pop of color that's still in stock; pick the original skeleton edition if you prefer a bold, monochrome statement and can find one from resellers.
Why the colorway matters
The two Fine Ash Dunny ceramic ashtrays share the same 5-inch art-piece format, but they tell completely different visual stories. The Sunset Orange edition leans into 1960s nostalgia with its bold, retro hue and sleek lines, while the original skeleton version makes a stark, graphic impression with its glossy black-and-white skull design.
Think about where you'll display it. The Sunset Orange can warm up a neutral shelf or coffee table, while the skeleton's high-contrast look stands out against colorful or busy backgrounds.
Availability and price trade-off
The Sunset Orange edition is currently available at a catalog price of $28.79 (compare at $39.99), making it an accessible entry point. The original skeleton edition is listed as sold out, so you'll likely need to turn to secondary markets, where prices may vary and you can't always verify condition.
If you want a guaranteed, brand-new piece without hunting, the Sunset Orange is the safer bet. If you're set on the skeleton's look, be prepared for some searching and potential markup.
How to choose between the two
- If you want it now: The Sunset Orange edition is in stock and available at a lower price, so you can add it to your collection immediately without hunting. Check the current listing for the Sunset Orange edition to confirm availability.
- If you want the boldest look: The original skeleton edition's glossy black-and-white design makes a stronger visual statement, but it's sold out, so you'll need to search resale platforms. If you go the resale route, ask for photos of the actual piece to verify condition.
- If you value retro vibes: The Sunset Orange edition's 1960s-inspired color and lines give it a nostalgic charm that the skeleton version doesn't offer.
