A Trio from the Polka Dot Series. Since this series came into fashion just as
smoking was also "a la mode", it is not surprising that the savvy
artists and designers of the HB faiencerie used this trend to create a
charming series of accouterments: cigarette holders and ashtrays.
Fortunately, they used adorable animal motifs, so nowadays we can enjoy these
pieces for their inherent whimsy and ignore the smoking aspects entirely.These
are all HB Quimper, ca. 1925., and in perfect condition.
It must be noted that the camera did not take kindly to the yellow backgrounds, making some look much paler than they really are… think “Butter” and “Sunshine”!
