AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Rookset of a set of decorative boxes, made of white alabaster and finished with gilded brass. The set consists of a larger jar with a lid and four smaller round bowls, which may have served as ashtrays or trinket boxes.

The items are made of white alabaster, with edges decorated with a gold-plated brass trim.

Although often referred to as a 'smoking set' (including tobacco jar and ashtrays), they can also be used as decorative storage boxes or jewelry boxes.
