While trends have changed due to health concerns, ashtrays are a remnant of the era, and today, you can find a plethora of incredibly unique vintage ashtrays at antique stores. French Limoges ashtrays, in particular, are one such vintage piece from a time when smoke cast a hazy filter over lounge rooms. French Limoges have a whiteware mark which looks like a green stamp, telling you who was the manufacturer of the porcelain. To help date your French Limoges ashtray, pieces made after 1891 will include "France," while pieces made post-1915 will usually say "Made in France," according to Antique Identifier. French Limoges can come in a range of sizes and shapes, with many pieces from the late 1800s featuring scalloped rims.
