Made by Royal Doulton, no less!

Found in a Swedish thrift store. I spent 13 years in the UK and feel a bit “homesick” for my adopted country (even after moving back “home”). There are no proper pubs here, but there are apparently fancy ash trays!

  1. The pubs that had ‘fancy’ ashtrays like that also had a thick layer of nicotine on the ceiling that would slowly turn brown over the years. There’d be dust everywhere and the place would stink of old cigarettes. I was only a kid when they banned smoking in pubs but I remember my dad being furious!

  2. I used to work for Greene King (and still work in hospitality), well this is why my work place can’t have nice things…

    They eventually get stolen.

    However the Greene King I worked for had drinking glasses that were as old as the pub. And yes they looked filthy. The GM never buys any new ones unless they get pinched or break.

  3. I used to love pubs like these – the booze was dirt cheap, then they provided pool tables, ash trays like this, and darts, so they basically got everyone tanked up, then armed everyone. Artwork.
