Resin Hippo Ashtray, 5 1/2"

Hippo in sunglasses. With a blue bird companion, as nature intended.

Wide resin bowl. 5.5 inches, deep enough to actually use.

Desk and gift grade. The functional novelty done right.

• Resin ashtray, hippo design with bird detail, approximately 5.5 inches
• Wide bowl holds ash and incense debris; wipes clean when cool
• Heat-tolerant resin for ordinary ashtray duty; not for open flame contact
• SKU: FAT3475

The hippo carries genuinely old protective credentials, Taweret, the hippo goddess of ancient Egypt, guarded households and mothers for millennia, and we mention the lineage because it is true and charming, not because this fellow in sunglasses channels it. He is honest giftware: a well-made resin tray that catches ash, cone debris, jewelry, keys, or altar odds and ends, depending on which shelf he lands on, and makes his owner smile every time. Half the ashtrays in the trade leave the smoking corner within a month for exactly that second career, and this one is overqualified for both jobs.

1. Use it for ash, cone debris, or as a catch-all dish: he does not judge.
2. Let contents cool fully, then wipe the bowl clean.
3. Keep open flame off the resin; embers and ash are his job, fire is not.

• Red Ginger Incense Cones by Escential Essences: cone debris for the bowl.
• Red Dragon Hand Pet: the giftware shelf's other charmer.
• Resting Witch Face Glass: the matching desk companion.

Is it heat-safe?

For ashtray duty, yes: ash and cooling embers are fine, open flame against the resin is not.

Can I use it as a trinket dish?

Absolutely: keys, rings, altar odds and ends: the wide bowl serves every catch-all career.

Why the hippo?

Because he is delightful: and if you want lineage, Egypt's Taweret made the hippo a household guardian millennia ago, a fact this fellow wears lightly under his sunglasses.
