Finding the Right ashtrays for You
Once a near-universal tabletop accessory, many antique, new and vintage ashtrays have taken on an entirely new purpose in today’s homes.
Whereas these formerly ubiquitous objects were associated with smoking, drinking, gambling and other vices, a well-designed and interesting ashtray is a candy dish, coaster or cocktail garnish receptacle in today’s interiors. But don’t discount its initial function. Amid your carefully curated coastal chic California decor, for example, a stone ashtray can help you manage the ashes that accumulate while you’re burning your morning incense. Old glass ashtrays, which are quite popular and easily found in free-form, organic shapes, can be a purely decorative final touch when styling a coffee table, whether you’ve filled it with wrapped lemon-drop candies or not.
In the postwar years, the democratization of luxury led to an explosion in the number of well-designed ashtrays, and there are many mid-century modern ashtrays to choose from on 1stDibs. (It’s no coincidence that sculptor Isamu Noguchi devised his “Dymaxion” version, which he hoped would make him rich, in 1945. Alas, it turned out to be too difficult to mass-produce.) The design collection of the Museum of Modern Art includes ashtrays by Carlo Scarpa (Murano glass, 1950–59); Achille Castiglioni (stainless steel with spring-like inserts, 1970); Masayuki Kurokawa (rubber and steel, 1973) and more. Smoking declined in popularity in the 1970s and ’80s, after the surgeon general’s warning began appearing on cigarette packs, but designers were still crafting ashtrays through the end of the century (especially outside the United States).
On 1stDibs, browse a collection of antique, new and vintage ashtrays that includes everything from modern and minimalist cigar ashtrays to outwardly ornate Art Deco ashtrays that evoke the opulence and elegance of the 1920s.
- What is a candle snuffer called?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022Candle snuffers are sometimes called "extinguishers," “dousing cones" and "doubters." However, you will normally see them referred to simply as candle snuffers. You can find a selection of antique and vintage candle snuffers from top sellers around the world on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The point of a candle snuffer is to extinguish candles more carefully. Using one to put out a flame is less likely to cause wax splatters and damage to the candle than blowing out the wick. On 1stDibs, find a variety of antique candle snuffers.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 3, 2023The middle part of an ashtray is for holding cigarettes, so you can keep your hands free. Rest stop is the name given to this part of an ashtray. On 1stDibs, shop a range of ashtrays.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022To clean an old glass ashtray, fill your sink with warm water and mild dish soap. Place the ashtray in the sink and allow it to soak for a few minutes. Then, wipe with a soft sponge. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. On 1stDibs, find a collection of antique and vintage glass ashtrays.
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023Many companies used to make ashtrays. Some of the most well-known manufacturers include Akro Agate, Imperial, Cambridge and Fenton. In addition, individual artisans sometimes produced one-of-a-kind ashtrays to sell to the public. An example is the Italian glass artist Flavio Poli. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of ashtrays.
