Water color brush holder - ash tray 2020

Not being a smoker or coming from a home where anyone smoked, I thought these glass dishes looked like a paint brush. Really I think it was suppose to look like smoke. :)  Anyways I'm using them to hold my brushes when I'm only using a few colors. I add water to the bowl part to use as a palette.  I don't paint a lot, so I also use these ashtrays to hold little bits of whatever I'm working on. I can't remember where I got them but if I had to guess I would say the thrift stores down in Carmel.
