"51" is also a popular brand of pastis in France. The round item is an ashtray which we have no need of but bought it anyway. When Don and Elaine visiited us in 2005 in our villa in Carqueiranne when Jim was teaching, we went to the "La Maison du Pastis" in Marseilles and they had probably over a hundred different specialty brands of pastis and absinthe. Don was in heaven doing tastings.
