The ashtray is the one piece everybody sees, so it might as well have a point of view. Glass ashtrays are heavy, heat-safe trays that wipe clean in seconds, from simple dishes to decorative and spinning designs. Browse more in our Smoking Ashtrays collection.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose a glass ashtray?
A glass ashtray does not hold odor, wipes clean easily and takes heat without warping. It also looks better on a table than a plastic dish, and many glass designs double as decor. The weight of glass keeps the tray steady on a table so it is less likely to tip over.
Are glass ashtrays safe for hot ash?
Yes, glass ashtrays are safe for hot ash when they are made from tempered or borosilicate glass, which handles heat well. Avoid dropping hot embers onto thin decorative glass, and let the tray cool before moving it. A heavy base also keeps the tray steady while it holds hot ash.
How do I clean a glass ashtray?
To clean a glass ashtray, dump the ash, wipe the glass with a damp cloth and use a little isopropyl alcohol for sticky resin. Our glass cleaning solutions include wipes and brushes that get into corners. Let the glass dry before you use it again so ash does not stick.
Can I use one for a pipe or joint?
Yes, you can use a glass ashtray for a pipe or a joint. Many trays have grooves or rests that hold a joint, and a deep bowl suits pipe ash. Check the listing for rests and size, since a wide tray gives a joint more room and keeps ash from spilling.
What is a spinning glass ashtray?
A spinning glass ashtray hides ash under a lid or inside a rotating base, which keeps the table tidy and helps contain smell. Spinning designs are also easy to carry and empty. The listing explains how the lid or the spinner works, so you can compare designs before you choose.
What size glass ashtray should I get?
Pick the size by where the ashtray will sit. A small dish suits a desk or a nightstand, while a wide tray suits a patio table or a group session. A 4 to 6 inch dish is a good everyday size, and dimensions are listed on each product so you can compare.
Which brands make glass ashtrays?
Famous Design, Hue and RAW appear in this collection. Check the dimensions and any lid or rest on each listing, because those details decide how well the ashtray suits your table and your routine. Designs range from floral dishes to spinning trays, and the product title usually names the style and size. For more, see our guide: Ozium and Smoke Odor Control: What Actually Works.
