Offered here is a vintage cut‑glass smoking ashtray featuring a brass/bronze metal rim with a single indented cigarette rest. These hybrid glass‑and‑metal smoking accessories were popular from the 1920s through the 1940s, especially in Europe and the United States, where they were used on desks, vanities, bedside tables, and boudoir stands.
The base is made of clear cut glass with a starburst pattern, and the bowl has a depth of 1.4 inches, making it suitable for use as a personal ash receiver rather than a multi‑rest communal ashtray. The metal rim includes a lift tab and an integrated cigarette rest — a hallmark of early Art Deco smoking accessories.
