In the UK we had big pub ashtrays that doubled as advertisements, being adorned with the names and logos of (now mostly vanished) beer or spirits brands. Naturally these would often find their way into smokers' homes.
Yes, this was exactly my thought. An ashtray to my mind is a beer branded plastic type thing. They also weren't entirely fireproof so they were often slightly melted if someone left a lit cigarette on it, or the contents set on fire.
My grandparents ashtrays were ornate glass structures though.
