Yup, ashtray indeed and sometimes a round lidded pot.
I'll bet it's Winstanley. Glass eyes?
I've just spotted it says Italy on the base. ;) Yes, ciggies. If you use a Magic Eraser VERY gently on that base it will get the muck off.
Neiger is the best known from Bohemia on that. It's stylised rather than "authentic" is that makes sense.
If they're saphiret, you stole it. ;)

Green one is butter, semi precious stone handle, probably had a nice dish with it. That's probably got a little value, as it's pretty. Blade may...
The stones look old Indian cut, but those central pieces look Egyptian faience. Odd. Chain looks almost Indian again, the pendant setting with...
Separate names with a comma.
