Ceramic pottery ashtrays are smoking accessories crafted from clay and fired to create a durable, often decorative surface. These ashtrays have a rich history, tracing back to the early 20th century when smoking became a widespread social activity. Known for their versatility in design, ceramic ashtrays have been produced in countless shapes, sizes, and styles, ranging from simple, utilitarian forms to elaborate, hand-painted creations. They often reflect the artistic trends of their time, such as Art Deco, Mid-Century Modern, or Pop Art, and were made by both artisan potters and mass manufacturers. Popular worldwide, ceramic ashtrays were not only functional but also served as decorative items in homes, offices, and public spaces
