Special Notes:
Materne is a leading European fruit processing food manufacturer, primarily producing jams, compotes (stewed/preserved fruits), and fruit-based snacks. Their main products are jams, fruit compotes (mashed or stewed fruit), and fruit-based snacks. They have long focused on "fruit snacks that children can easily eat" and "products emphasizing the fruit taste," adapting to changes in market preferences. Due to its long history, "vintage" items (old promotional items, novelties, etc.) and goods with the company logo sometimes become antique/collector's items (this ashtray is considered one such example). As a food brand, everyday items such as "tableware," "cafe/bistro goods," and "ashtrays from the smoking era" are circulated, particularly linking to European cafe and bar culture. Old logo designs, fonts, and colors easily convey a "sense of the era," making them appealing to antique and vintage enthusiasts.
