Nobody Smokes Inside My House, Yet I Own Around A Dozen Vintage Ashtrays And They're Placed All Around, Because As Objects They Are Hands-Down The Coolest. They Distill The Essence and Faraway Glamour Of Long Ago Hotels, Restaurants And Nightclubs. My Two Favorites Are A Three-Sided Pink And Green One From Italy That Advertises "Chianti Palanti -- Casa Fondata 1864" And A Little Round Yellow One From A Hotel In Cap d'Antibes That Reads In Black Script, "Ne M'Emportez Pas, Je Suis Tres Bien Ici", Don't Disturb Me, I'm Very Happy Here. Wow!
This Gorgeous Little Porcelain Ashtray Was Made In Spain For the Madrid Palace Hotel. White With Brick-Red Hand-Painted Trim And The Hotel's Crest Insignia In The Center ... Grooves For Two Cigarettes ... The Shape Is An Elongated Oval With Flat Sides ... In Near-Mint Condition With No Chips or Cracks.
Gorgeous On An End Table To Hold Odds And Ends, And If You've Ever Stayed At The Madrid Palace Hotel, Even Better!
