Know before you buy
Yes, this is a vintage item sourced directly from the Hôtel Plaza Athénée in Paris, featuring the hotel's authentic gold crest.
The dish is crafted from fine white porcelain. While it is durable for daily use as a valet tray or decorative piece, it should be handled with the care typically afforded to high-quality vintage ceramics.
Absolutely. Its compact size and elegant design make it an excellent valet tray for holding keys, jewelry, or loose change, or simply as a standalone decorative accent on a desk or coffee table.
The ashtray measures 4.25 inches in diameter and stands 1 inch tall, making it a compact, low-profile piece that fits easily on most surfaces.
To preserve the gold detailing, we recommend hand washing with mild soap and a soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals that could scratch the porcelain or fade the crest over time.
