Stunning ashtray and lighter set with Sterling Silver and original labels.

Orb ashtray and lighter set in vintage cobalt blue glass with Sterling Silver decor and original maker labels. By Viking Art Glass, USA circa early 1950’s.

The Big Ashtray Museum presents ashtrays of yesteryear.

Ashtrays from days gone by were often used as home decor focal points and were works of art, meant to be seen and admired. Made with superior quality and design by studio artists of the 19th and 20th Century, these fascinating ashtray creations now have a place in decorative arts history, never to be produced again.
