Decorative group of three vintage smoking accessories comprising two ceramic ashtrays and a lidded tobacco jar. Included is a pale mint-green Café de la Paix, Paris ashtray with gilt cigarette rests and a black script panel; a blue glazed Au Louvre, Paris ceramic ashtray centered by a raised recumbent lion and marked on the underside “Faïencerie Nouvelle de Provence, Aubagne B.D.R.”; and a cylindrical tobacco jar combining a warm-toned wooden body with white ceramic base and lid, the lid transfer-decorated with a maritime scene titled “The Chin Chew River.” The group displays attractive period character with varied French and travel-souvenir appeal. All three show age-related scuffs, scratches, rubbing, and surface wear, while the blue Au Louvre ashtray has a couple of small nicks along the edge; the tobacco jar shows additional minor wear to the wood and ceramic surfaces consistent with use. Jar measures 4" H x 4" Diameter. Trays measure 5.25" x 4.25" & 4.75" x 4.5".
