I don't think her mother made it, since it doesn't look like anything else her mother made. I haven't seen anything like it since, and lost touch with them years ago.
Looks good with the copper. It reminds me of a small ashtray a student made me when I was teacher's aide years ago. I cherish it and couldn't think of ever putting out a cig in it. Would be great if it would fit my 510 in it but too small. I like your avatar!
I like your avatar!
Wish I could use my ashtray for that purpose but my husband still smokes analogs (he doesn't like the PV and won't switch). So I still get to deal with dirty, stinky ashtrays all over the house 
Actually JJ, I was looking for an ashtray similar to yours when I found mine in a kitchen drawer. It's not very obvious in that picture how small the bowls are. I hadn't used it in so long I'd forgotten it even existed. It also looks like you need more storage space than I do.
And Cat, I love this picture. I've forgotten where I found it. I'm also very amused by your blinking cat. Earlier I was debating animating mine.

Well, you could always buy and repurpose a nice ashtray for your e-cig. I actually got the idea from my mother, who likes using crystal ashtrays for potpourri. Some ashtrays are just too pretty to actually use for their intended purpose. For the smell, I used those car ashtrays that are sized to fit in a cupholder. The type that are supposed to contain the smoke and smell. They aren't perfect, but they do help. I'll admit, my girlfriend was the one who dived into e-cigs. What really changed my mind was one night when I ran out of smokes and needed to hit the bank in the morning. I grabbed her 510 (she was in bed) and some high nic, marb flavored, prefilled carts. Once I'd figured out how to properly hit it, I started to enjoy it more. Also, the fake Marb flavoring is preferable to the real thing. It may just take a little more experimenting.
Reminds me of several mini ashtrays I used to carry from class to class in college in the 70's when students and professors alike smoked analogs at their desks during class. How times have changed.
Never thought to use my old ashtrays that way! Thanks for the tip and the laugh!
I just have my stuff in a case or sitting around on a papertowel...not nearly as pretty.

What cat avatars? My ashtrays serve many purposes now, the one in the car is now a change holder like other non smokers ashtrays are. The ones in the house were thrown out except for one for company that smokes.
I felt like my old ashtrays were a bad reminder of what I use to do. So I made my own. Hope you like.
