Its uniform light blue hue gives it a distinctive retro appearance, typical of mid-20th-century bistro or bar items. The visible side features a red \"LÉRINA LIQUEUR\" inscription, accompanied by a stylized monogram with a graphic design on the corners. The print is clear, with a marked contrast between the support color and the advertising inscriptions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe ashtray's structure is thick, with edges slightly angled inward, offering good stability for daily use on a counter or table. The exact material is not specified in the keywords, but the visual appearance suggests a smooth and opaque finish, evoking pressed glass or enameled ceramic, although this cannot be confirmed. The red silkscreen print is well preserved on the visible side, with good readability of the texts and logos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe advertising design, typical of promotional items from the spirits industry, highlights the Lérina brand, a French liqueur. The graphic style and typography are characteristic of the 1950s-1970s, with a clean and functional aesthetic. The ashtray has four cigarette recesses, molded directly into the material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn the photographed side, no major chips or cracks are visible. However, the surface shows some minor signs of wear, consistent with old and regular use, particularly on the edges. The bottom of the ashtray, the same color as the rest of the object, is perfectly smooth and has no apparent decoration on the visible area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis type of ashtray was frequently used in French bars, cafes, and restaurants to promote alcoholic beverage brands. Its advertising aspect, pastel color, and geometric shape also make it a popular retro decorative item in bistro design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nUsed item, sold as is.
