Lambert Scammell Pink Floral Hotel/Railroad Match Stand Ashtray

Description

Up for auction is this wonderful match stand ashtray made by Lambert Scammell China for hotel or railroad use.
The match stand is decorated with garlands of pink flowers and vines.
This delightful pattern was probably intended for a ladies lounge/car.
The match stand (box portion of the tray where a box of matches would be inserted with a square peg in the base to hold the box open and then open sides to allow access to the striking strip) is 3 7/8” tall and the attached ashtray base is 6 ¼” in diameter.
There are several pin dips in the porcelain glaze, but these are common for hotel/railroad grade china.
Also there is a crack in one side of the match stand portion of the piece (please see picture).
There are no other condition issues.
Thanks for looking and please email if you have any questions.
