What's for sale?

This is a small, promotional ashtray, handmade for the French pastis brand Ricard.

Ricard had all the usual ashtrays and water jugs, but they also had Ceramique Ricard make a variety of aquatic themed ashtrays like this.

They're crudely made, but it's a fun thing in turquoise green, with a yellow and orange fish frolicking in the waves, represented by the fluted rim.

It would have looked great in a bar and would certainly make a nice desk ornament now.

What condition is it in?

• Second-hand
• In very good condition
• Underneath the rim are several rough patches with uneven or missing glaze
• The glaze is crazed, particularly in the bowl

What are the measurements?

• 5cm at highest point (2 inches)
• 11cm at widest point (4 inches)
• 159 grams
