Ashtrays
A Dutch souvenir ashtray isn't just for smokers. On a desk, a bedside table or by the front door, it's just as handy for keys, rings or loose change. In this category you'll find ashtrays in Delft blue ceramic, pewter and metal, featuring windmills, tulips, canal houses, the Amsterdam coat of arms and a cheeky nod to the city's coffeeshops. Add a matching Amsterdam lighter and your gift is complete.
Ashtrays and lighters as a Dutch souvenir
The Netherlands and tobacco go back a long way. During the Dutch Golden Age, the town of Gouda was famous across Europe for its white clay pipes, and tobacco from all over the world arrived through the port of Amsterdam. So it's no surprise that the ashtray has been a classic souvenir for decades. Today a Dutch ashtray is above all a cheerful, affordable keepsake: a small piece of Amsterdam or Holland that you use every day, with or without a cigarette.
De Holland Winkel has been selling Dutch souvenirs since 2002. We've gathered all our ashtrays and lighters on this page, so you can easily choose between a classic Delft blue design, a sturdy pewter ashtray or a colourful metal one.
Which ashtrays and lighters can you choose from?
Delft blue and pewter
A ceramic ashtray with a Delft blue windmill landscape, or a pewter ashtray decorated with a windmill and tulips. Timeless designs that look just as good as a decorative dish on a sideboard or windowsill.
Amsterdam ashtrays
Round and square ashtrays in silver, pewter and copper colours, featuring the Amsterdam skyline, the city's coat of arms with its three St Andrew's crosses, or a row of canal houses.
Metal ashtrays with a wink
Light, budget-friendly ashtrays with a coffeeshop menu, a cannabis leaf, rasta colours or I Love Amsterdam. A fun souvenir for anyone who got to know the city from a slightly different angle.
Lighters
Lighters with a Dutch windmill, an Amsterdam bicycle, the word Amsterdam or a cannabis leaf. Handy for yourself and a nice extra to give together with an ashtray.
