On occasion, Christie's has a direct financial interest in the outcome of the sale of certain lots consigned for sale. This will usually be where it has guaranteed to the Seller that whatever the outcome of the auction, the Seller will receive a minimum sale price for the work. This is known as a minimum price guarantee. This is such a lot.

cf. P. Jousse, Georges Jouve, Paris, 2006, pp. 48-49, 167 for other examples of this ashtray.

During the 1950s, Georges Jouve frequently collaborated with his good friend, the well-known furniture designer Mathieu Matégot. The 'Bear's Paw' ashtray, in particular, was designed to go with Matégot's perforated metal furniture. The model later became known as the 'Matégot' Ashtray. It came in a variety of glazes that were either crackled, glossy or matte.
