I'd rather not have an ash tray in my house.

[Hubble Bubble]

Don’t smoke but I would.

Ordered to complete my set of all three.

Cheers

Thanks for this, just pulled trigger

[gatortooth]

This one is the best of the three. Didn't buy it, but...

[Londown 01]

I'd rather have cigarettes than this ash tray

[Hubble Bubble]

You’re in luck.

Cigarettes are available.

This batch of ceramics has sold out.

Gone up in price? Pretty sure the last Hockney ashtray was £99

[Hubble Bubble]

I think you’ll find all Hockneys are going up dramatically.

[Dice]

You can buy the other versions on eBay for a lot less than this. Last two sold items went for under £50.

This is overpriced for what it is.

The last two on ebay weren’t limited editions. I think this is the best of the lot and for anyone who can’t afford a signed Hockney (me), a nice little item IMO.

[Hubble Bubble]

Thanks Dice… wasn’t aware of the open edition from 2008.

Will pick one up too.

Hockney's are going up, not ashtray though. They increased price to stop flipping but the older ones can be had at cost or less on eBay and third tier auctions

Think of it as Hockney tat.

[Everyone Owes]

Unlike plates, teatowels, piggy banks, coasters, these ashtrays are very much Hockney-level tat. A lifelong smoker, who now lives in France "I’ve locked myself away in a nice house in Normandy where I can smoke." The man is fully committed.

Smoking, for Hockney, is a symbol of the freedom of the 1960s. Hockney traces the equation of cigarettes and bohemia to 19th-century Paris: “In Boston, they have that marvellous painting by Renoir of a couple dancing. If you look carefully, there are lots of cigarette butts on the floor. They smoked while they danced."

What could be more fitting than an ashtray to commemorate his landscapes, sketched while puffing away on a pack of Davidoffs..

[Hubble Bubble]

Arrived quickly. Very happy.
