Beautiful oval shape composed of two circular side ashtrays, each with cigarette rests, framing a central rectangular compartment for cigarettes, matches, tobacco, or small smoking accessories.
The set is adorned with a superb polychrome floral decoration on a turquoise and deep blue background, typical of Longwy enamels.
Large stylized flowers in shades of pink, raspberry, and white intertwine with green foliage and small orange, yellow, and purple berries.
The interiors of the two ashtrays, as well as the central compartment, are a light turquoise, creating a particularly luminous contrast with the deep blue of the surrounding area.

It can be used as an ashtray, a trinket tray, or simply as a decorative collector's item.

In good condition. The piece has a chip in the enamel along the edge of one side and a small chip in the central compartment. These do not detract from the decorative and functional character of this collector's item.
