Hermes Ashtrays- anyone else love them?

[pursedoc]

I was in the LV hermes this weekend, and noticed the incredible detail on the "ashtrays"- who would ever use it for ashes?? I am having one shipped, so no pictures- but plan to keep it in my bath for my wedding ring and watch.

Anyone else have a thing for these pieces? I could imagine becoming a collector! So many sizes and colors...

Pursedoc--looking forward to seeing your new ashtray. I love the ashtrays and have the turtle one on my bedside table that I put lip balm, perfume, etc. in, and it just adds a little something.

 

[pursedoc]

Exactly! just a little touch of elegance. I've never noticed thembefore. I think I'm hooked.So many places to put them that would be fabulolus!

I will definitely not use the ashtrays for 'ashtray'! They are way too precious and pricey for that. I have a few small ones in my collection. Will take picture of them when I'm home.

Yes!! I love the ashtrays especially this one which I'm hoping to purchase as soon as I've got some extra $$$. This is art.

I love love love the ashtrays. They are collectible items. So many patterns, so many colours... so pricey... but then again, I am an China freak.

Here's another picture of an ashtray off of hermes. com

^If I had one I'd use it for Andes Mints as a play on the use....

I love them too. When I go into H with DH he always makes a beeline for them. He smokes an occasional cigar, and I know he would use it for that purpose so I just can't do it. They had a beautiful one with a panda I just loved

I love them!! So adorable, but since I don´t smoke, quite useless. But I LOVE Orchids´s idea!

They're like pieces of art- can't imagine anyone actually dumping dirty ash on it's pretty surface!

 

[Liberté]

They certainly are eye catching and very beautiful.

I love them but don't own one yet, they would make a perfect trinket tray. There were lots to see in Paris in January, designs I've not seen before, so tempting.

Orchids, I love your turtle, so cute!

Oh I have that panda and love Hermes ashtrays. But I'm guilty of smoking and do use them for the purpose though:shame: but I try to use only one small one which stays next to me on my desktop. My heart is aching when I have to wash it cause of the suede base. DH tries to stay away from them since he has a habit of breaking each and every ashtray given some time
