Ashtray
Tray for collecting ash from cigarettes and cigars / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For containers in which cigarettes are disposed of, see Cigarette receptacle.
An ashtray is a receptacle for ash from cigarettes, cigars, and other smokable products. Ashtrays typically are made of fire-retardant material such as glass, heat-resistant plastic, pottery, metal, or stone. It differs from a cigarette receptacle, which is specifically for discarding cigarettes after being smoked.
