An ashtray with a face!!!!!!! = Skrufs - design by Lars Hellsten
Doris:
Picked this up today at my local RSPCA quarterley car boot, amongst other interesting items, but this one made me laugh because to me it looks like a face.
A sturdy piece of glass no doubt about that weighs a ton(well almost) but wondered what fellow glassies thought about it.

It looks Scandinavian - possibly Finnish. I have seen something similar. Will try to locate and get back, but I'm sure in the meantime someone more knowledgeable will know and will respond. :P

Adam
Although it was my first thought also that this little ashtray was by Skrufs, isn't it a bit rash to say that it definitely is without finding a reference to an identical item?

No offence intended, just trying to give Doris factual information. :)
