Mid Century Ash Tray Decor. "Wait, I don't smoke!"

No, I don't smoke. My husband doesn't smoke either. I fell in love with it instantly and now we own an ashtray. Not just any ashtray, a large ashtray.A classic 1950's, amoeba shaped, teal and green, drip glaze beauty that I found today at the thrift store.


I always try to do a once through if I am in town doing errands. I feel if I don't stop, I will miss out on some great piece of mid century decor. I think I may be addicted. Must stop! Ok, that's just not realistic.

It's a wonderful display piece. Everyone smoked in the 1950's. They all did, Mom's, Dad's, Uncle Willard, your teacher, your pastor, everyone. What a great addition to a home with collection of authentic 1950's decor.

I found some other fantastic mid century ash trays for sale on etsy. I think a mid century home should not be without one. I intend on using it for a nut and candy dish.  Voila!
