There is a very particular kind of object that makes somebody stop mid-conversation and say, “Wait, that’s an ashtray?” That is the energy here. I found seven that look like ceramics, trinket dishes, and one entire side table. No pretending I tested them: these picks are based on the brands’ current product pages and the actual photos you see below.
If you missed the original hunt, here are 10 chic ways to stash your weed. This list is for the part of the setup you might actually leave out.
1. The floral set that looks like a tiny antique-store score
This is an ashtray, saucer, and little vase wearing the prettiest blue floral pattern. It has a deep ash well and a rest notch, but I would absolutely leave the vase out with a single flower even when nothing is burning. Houseplant recommends hand washing the stoneware set to protect its glaze.

2. The calico cat who has a job
A ceramic calico cat curls around a deep little belly that catches ash. It also works as a trinket dish, which honestly makes this the most convincing excuse for keeping a cat on the table. Canna Style says each handmade piece may vary a bit and recommends hand washing.

3. The weirdly adorable little sculpture
The Gloopy is a ceramic blob in the best possible sense: textured, colorful, and just strange enough that somebody will ask what it is. Under those globs is a deep ash well and a resting notch. Houseplant says each piece has its own variation, and this one is not dishwasher safe.

4. The tarot card I would leave on display
A High Priestess card with a cat, rendered as a purple ceramic tray. It has four grooves and doubles as a catchall for rings or other tiny treasures. Canna Style lists this one as dishwasher safe; it is the pick for the person whose decor already includes a deck of cards and at least one crystal.

5. The one that looks like a party souvenir from Italy
The rooster is painted freehand by artisans in Deruta, Italy, and Houseplant says no two are exactly alike. It has three rests, so it makes more sense for a little gathering than a solo tray. I love how unapologetically decorative this one is; it could sit among colorful serving pieces without looking lost.

6. The cross-stitch that is actually ceramic
This one has a custom cross-stitch print, an embossed rim, and three grooves. It is ceramic, not fabric, and Canna Style says it can double as a trinket tray. It is the cozy little needlepoint-meets-smoking-accessory moment I did not know I wanted. The brand says to hand wash it.

7. The ashtray that brought its own furniture
This is the dramatic pick: a 25-inch porcelain-and-steel side table with an ash-catching well and removable top. It can sit beside a chair instead of taking over your coffee table. Houseplant says it is not for outdoor storage, so I would treat it as an indoor or covered-space piece.

Which one would I pick?
The floral set wins if you want something pretty enough for a shelf. The cat is the obvious gift for a cat person. The side table is a commitment, but it is also the funniest possible answer to “where do we put the ashtray?” Check the current color, stock, care details, and price on each brand page before buying; those can change.
