That is one thing an ashtray in my house would not be used for.

Don't most non-smokers just not have ashtrays?

I suspect most people acquire the odd one or two and they are
remarkably
useful receptacles for oddments.

They aren't very nice to look at,

I particularly like the look of the Double Diamond one I have.

Can you link to an example of it?

Oddly enough, the one I have, which is in the form of two interlinked
Ds, giving two tray areas, doesn't seem to feature in any of the images
I can find of Double Diamond ashtrays.


can't you find something else for that
purpose?

The pots Stilton come in are also very useful.

Like these?

Look like urns!

Far too fancy. Mine are more like brown stoneware ramekins.
