About the Item

A fine vintage porcelain-gilt ashtray (circa 1990s) by Bernardaud, the storied Limoges manufacturer established in 1863. This one depicts a voluptuous Parisienne with a 1920s hairstyle, the heyday of the art deco era. This splendid porcelain piece is from Bernardaud's incredible Metropoles series of the world's grandest cities. There is a regal gold trim. The bottom is made of real leather and acts to protect the surface upon which it is placed. On one side there is a French inscription: “Densité des granits. Raffinement des ors poudrés”, or translated, “Density of granites. Refinement of powdered golds.” It’s not a technical description, but rather, a literary or conceptual phrase — the kind of poetic language Bernardaud often uses in limited-edition collections or design collaborations. The piece is in very good overall condition. Maker's mark on the underside: 'Bernardaud Limoges France.' Upon request a video will be provided.
