Verceram ashtray from the ocean liner France, 1960s-70s.

Green ashtray by Verceram from "La Cheminée qui fume, " from the ocean liner France, made in the 1960s and 70s. By placing a cigarette at the base of the chimney, smoke comes out of the two fins. Verceram produced this iridescent vintage ceramic collection during the 1960s to 1970s. The company, founded in the 1930s, innovated in the 1960s by releasing a series of ceramic objects: ashtrays, vases, glasses, trays, tableware, table lamps, candlesticks, fruit dishes, and more. Today, the name and this bold style for the time are back in fashion, and their objects are in demand for interior decoration. The keychain from the Transatlantique company is included.
