Mid Century Vallauris Ashtray, Cigale Lid, Albert Ferlay. 3.5 in. Diameter

Authentic mid-century ceramic ashtray from Vallauris, France, created by Albert Ferlay. This piece features a classic Provençal cigale (cicada) lid handle, a regional symbol strongly associated with the French Riviera.

The ashtray is decorated with a hand-painted scenic landscape motif, including stylized trees, hills, and bird imagery, set against a vibrant yellow-to-orange gradient glaze with a bold black rim. A striking example of postwar Vallauris pottery, combining functional design with decorative appeal.
