A striking piece of vintage Italian barware, this deep cobalt blue ceramic ashtray was produced by Coronetti Cunardo, Italy as promotional advertising for the renowned French liqueur producer Marie Brizard. Featuring rich gold typography with the elegant Liqueurs de France script, it embodies the bold graphic style of mid-century European hospitality advertising.
The rounded, sculptural form includes three cigarette rests and a substantial weight, making it as much a decorative object as a functional ashtray. The glossy glaze beautifully contrasts with the metallic gold lettering, creating a timeless piece that sits comfortably in both modernist and eclectic interiors.
Whether displayed on a coffee table, bar cart or shelving, it offers a sophisticated nod to vintage café and cocktail culture.
