Ashtray Commemorative Embossed Georges Guynemer Souvenir Ware
EDITORS COMMENTS
This souvenir ashtray, titled "L As des As," showcases an intricately embossed image of a French bi-plane against the backdrop of the vibrant, textured design. The aviation enthusiast's delight is further enhanced by the presence of the renowned French Ace, Georges Guynemer, depicted in the foreground, saluting from the cockpit. This commemorative piece of ware transports us back to the era of the First World War, a time when the skies were a battleground for the great powers. Georges Guynemer (1894-1917) was a French fighter pilot and the most successful fighter pilot of the First World War, with a total of 54 confirmed victories. He flew for the Escadrille Lafayette in the United States before returning to France to fight in the war. His exploits in the skies earned him the nickname "The Ace of Aces," and his legacy continues to inspire awe and admiration in aviation and military history. The intricate embossing technique used on this ashtray highlights the attention to detail and craftsmanship that went into producing this commemorative piece. The bi-plane, with its wings spread wide, and the image of Guynemer in his cockpit, evoke the spirit of adventure and heroism that characterized the early days of military aviation. This ashtray is not only a functional object but also a historical artifact, a testament to the rich history of aeronautical and military achievements during the First World War.
