Special Notes:
Sarreguemines, inscribed on the ashtray, holds a very significant place in the history of French pottery. Sarreguemines, officially known as Faïencerie de Sarreguemines, was founded around 1790 (late 18th century) in the town of Sarreguemines in the Lorraine region of eastern France. They produced fine faience, porcelain, decorative tiles, everyday tableware, and advertising ceramics. As the ceramics industry developed across various regions after the French Revolution, Sarreguemines quickly became known as a manufacturer producing high-quality and artistic fine faience. During the reign of Napoleon III, it gained such renown that it was designated "Purveyor to the Emperor." In the 20th century, they also began producing commercial ceramics, such as tableware for hotels and restaurants, and advertising ashtrays for brands like Ricard and Martini. Items like this ashtray, also marked "PUBLICITÉ VOX PARIS," are promotional items (novelties) for bar culture, designed by the French advertising agency VOX and manufactured by Sarreguemines between the 1950s and 1970s. Sarreguemines pottery is often called "tableware where French daily life and art merge." Even an ashtray on a bar counter embodies an aesthetic that balances design and practicality, which is truly a symbol of mid-20th century French cafe culture and esprit.
