Purchased approximately 20 years ago from an antique shop in the suburbs of Paris, France. This item was distributed as a novelty by the famous French tobacco company GAULOISES in the 1950s to bars, cafes, etc. It's a large, extra-large size, 18 cm in diameter, making it quite rare even among GAULOISES items. GAULOISES, first released in 1910, is a very stylish tobacco brand that, along with Gitanes, has often appeared in French films since the old days and is a popular brand. It is famous for having many collectors in France, making it one of the most difficult items to obtain. I have previously listed several GAULOISES ashtrays, which were purchased by repeat customers, but this one is made of ceramic (milk glass), is large in size, and is in the best condition. It was reportedly a new, unused deadstock item that was difficult to obtain. A winged helmet is depicted as a symbol. This was designed in 1936 by the popular graphic designer Marcel Jacno and is still used on the cigarette packaging today. The word "France" is stamped on the bottom. It has a substantial weight. To show the size, it is photographed with a French pitcher and salt shaker. The condition is as shown in the photos, shiny and smooth. There is no sign of use other than some minor imperfections from the manufacturing process. As shown in the photos, there are only a few scratches that appear to have occurred during storage or transportation, and I couldn't find any other noticeable flaws. Because of its large size, it can be used in various ways, such as a place to put watches, keys, wallets, car keys, accessories, and small items, depending on your ideas. It is a very lovely GAULOISES blue cendrier (ashtray). The approximate size is 18 cm in diameter and 5 cm in height. Although it is in good condition, it is an old item, so there may be some dirt, scratches, paint loss, and scuffs. Please refrain from purchasing if you are a nervous buyer. There are no smokers in my home, and I have never used it since purchasing it. This listing is for the ashtray only.
