COCTAIL ashtrays, André Ricard (circa 1970)

This is another great design from Ricard. Let me explain why: when I got COPENHAGUE ashtrays enough to form a tower, my obsession consisted in ordering the cigarette-holding holes in a way they would create a perfect vertical line... I guess Ricard thought about it too and his answer to that obsession was adding the shape of a wave and placing the hole on top of it... this way every hole will fall right on top of the others.

They're also made of melamine and they were made in the six colours you can see in the picture: red, orange, black, yellow, white and blue and they were sold in cylinder boxes containing six ashtrays -my guess is one in each different colour. I have got the original box, but I got it long time after I got my ashtrays...
