Exquisite and highly collectible 3-piece porcelain smoker's/vanity desk set designed by the legendary industrial designer Raymond Loewy for Rosenthal Germany, beautifully custom-fashioned for Ronson.
This rare "Plaza" collection features Loewy's iconic mid-century asymmetric, fluid silhouettes decorated with whimsical, sketch-style illustrations of a Parisian courtyard—complete with brilliant blue-arched balconies, topiary columns, sprawling lavender flower bushes, and drifting ribbons.

The complete set includes:
1. Table Lighter: A curved porcelain dome base housing an integrated gold-plated Ronson Varaflame mechanism with its distinct, stylized "comet tail" thumb lever. The base retains its massive brass fuel plug.
2. Asymmetric Trinket / Cigarette Box: A two-piece organic form consisting of the illustrated porcelain cover and its structural, matte charcoal-gray contrast basin base (Shape No. 2127).
3. Small Ashtray / Pin Dish: A perfectly matching circular dish highlighting the unobstructed courtyard scene art, optimal for keys, rings, or decorative presentation.

All three pieces display matching, crisp green Rosenthal Germany crown backstamps alongside the elegant cursive script reading "PLAZA Fashioned for Ronson" on their undersides, verifying complete collection authenticity. An exceptional crossover statement set for enthusiasts of Mid-Century design, porcelain art, and fine tobaccoliana.
