Maker & History
French advertising ceramics flourished in cafés, bars and restaurants throughout the mid-20th century, especially for drinks, food brands and regional products. Produced in Cannes, this ashtray belongs to that tradition of practical promotional objects that also preserve a vivid piece of post-war Riviera commercial culture.

Why we love it

Sourced by Valérie

I love how this piece feels connected to Provence, where we come from. The colour is cheerful and warm, and it has exactly the kind of relaxed charm that makes it perfect for an apéritif table.
