The set includes a small ashtray/jewelry dish and cigarette holder (Q-tips holder), with decorative gilt brass or bronze mounts. The holder is raised on three spherical feet. Both pieces feature a diamond‑cut crystal body with a nice weight, paired with strong, even‑toned gilt bronze fittings.

The ashtray/jewelry dish has a star‑cut base and a hinged gilt bronze rim with a curved tab or support (for cigarette or other smoking product.) The cigarette holder is fitted with a cast gilt bronze collar and a base supported by three ball feet — a form associated with Continental boudoir and vanity accessories of the period. The crystal is substantial, with softened cut edges typical of early 20th‑century French and Belgian production.

Originally designed as a smoking set, the pieces also function well as vanity accessories: the ashtray as a jewelry dish and the holder for make-up or cotton swabs. A refined Hollywood Regency decorative set with strong material presence.
