I dont know if you consider this an antique or not. But is this an ashtray? If not what is it?

Could be if that is what you want it to be!  Most likely a tourist item for decoration!  Very interesting the signs of the constellations and Jerusalem!

It sure is an ashtray .

These items can be 'retasked' as such , for non-smokers ..... however most all smokers have an eye for ashtrays , and are prone by their nature to use them , even if there's 'stuff' in them ....

holy water font

'catch-all' dish

   Ashtrays sell pretty well, I have several and they move at a good past, but not for much, Usually mid $.00 to low $$.00.

That is an ashtray. No mistake about it! I have two vintage standing ashtrays myself. But i'm not selling them, i'm using them!

Yes, it is an ashtray.  As a collector of ashtrays myself--great piece!  I would guess 1960s or 1970s.  There are some similar ones for sale online for $18-20, brass Jerusalem decorative ashtrays.  Didn't find any exactly like yours, yours is more decorative & unique then the others I found.
