Very decorative 1960s Italian hand carved orange alabaster smoking set by Romano Bianchi.

Once women were able to smoke freely, smoking became a social norm and in general it was considered an act of elegance and sophistication. Businessmen in the 1960s were rarely seen without a cigarette in their hand.
