Classic Mona Lisa Artwork in a Paris Souvenir

Many Paris souvenirs concentrate exclusively on famous monuments. However, the Mona Lisa Paris Souvenir Porcelain Ashtray takes a different approach by celebrating the artistic side of the French capital.

A reproduction of Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa fills the centre of the round bowl. Its familiar green, brown and golden tones contrast strongly with the deep glossy black porcelain surrounding it. As a result, the portrait immediately becomes the visual focus when the ashtray is viewed from above.

This art-inspired design makes the piece particularly appealing to museum visitors, collectors and travellers looking for something different from a conventional landmark souvenir. For more French keepsakes, explore our Souvenir Paris collection.

Black Porcelain with PARIS and FRANCE Lettering

The outside of the ashtray continues the French theme without making the design overly busy. Large gold-tone PARIS and FRANCE lettering appears against the glossy black outer wall.

Moreover, the combination of black porcelain and gold-coloured lettering gives the piece a more understated appearance than brightly coloured souvenir designs. The lettering remains easy to recognise whether the ashtray is being used or displayed.

Designed as a Compact Tabletop Ashtray

Three cigarette rests are incorporated directly into the rounded rim. Therefore, the original purpose of the product remains immediately recognisable.

The overall diameter is approximately 8.8 cm, while the inner diameter measures around 8.3 cm. In addition, the ashtray is approximately 3.2 cm high, with an internal depth of about 2 cm to the rim.

At approximately 147 g, it has a solid porcelain feel despite its compact dimensions. Consequently, it can sit comfortably on a table, balcony table or designated smoking area without taking up excessive space.

A Distinctive Gift for Art and Paris Lovers

Because the design combines museum-inspired artwork with clear PARIS and FRANCE branding, it offers a different type of souvenir from the French capital.

It can make a compact gift for art enthusiasts, museum lovers and travellers who associate Paris with its cultural heritage. When not used as an ashtray, it can also be displayed as a small decorative piece or used as a catch-all for lightweight items such as coins.

For customers interested in the artwork itself, the Louvre Museum provides information about the Mona Lisa and its display in Paris.

FAQ

Why is the Mona Lisa used on a Paris souvenir ashtray?

The Mona Lisa is displayed at the Louvre Museum in Paris, so the artwork has a strong connection with the city’s museum and cultural identity. This design focuses on Paris through art rather than through the Eiffel Tower alone.

Is the Mona Lisa image inside the bowl or printed on the outside?

The Mona Lisa reproduction is positioned inside the centre of the bowl. The exterior instead carries large gold-tone PARIS and FRANCE lettering.

How many cigarette rests does this ashtray have?

There are three integrated cigarette rests formed directly into the porcelain rim.

Is the Mona Lisa ashtray black all around?

The main porcelain body is glossy black. However, the centre contains the full-colour Mona Lisa artwork, while the outer wall features contrasting gold-tone lettering.

Does the outside say both PARIS and FRANCE?

Yes. The outer wall features large PARIS lettering on one section and FRANCE lettering on another, giving the ashtray a clear French souvenir identity.

Is this ashtray suitable for an art-themed collection?

Yes. Its Mona Lisa reproduction makes it particularly suitable for someone collecting art-inspired souvenirs, museum memorabilia or French decorative pieces.

Is this ashtray larger than a typical small souvenir dish?

It measures approximately 8.8 cm in diameter and 3.2 cm high, so it is a compact tabletop piece rather than a large ashtray.

Can the Mona Lisa ashtray be displayed without using it for smoking?

Yes. The centred artwork, glossy finish and gold lettering allow it to work as a small decorative object when it is not being used as an ashtray.

Can it also be used as a small catch-all dish?

Yes. When not used for smoking, the recessed bowl can hold lightweight items such as coins or other small objects.

What makes this design different from the Paris Monuments ashtray?

The Mona Lisa version focuses on classic art, with the portrait dominating the centre and PARIS/FRANCE lettering around the exterior. The Paris Monuments design instead combines multiple architectural landmarks of the city.

Is this a porcelain or ceramic ashtray?

This product is specified as porcelain, with a glossy black finish and printed central artwork.

Where is the Mona Lisa Paris ashtray made?

The product is made in China.
