Keith — see the WF/Dunhill Prong dual purpose ashtray / menu holder here for a very close match.

Sorry — no time for more as I am loading up the car for Cambridge!

It doesn't look right to me.  The shape is different on Keith's one, being more curved towards the top and the bubbles don't look right either.   :-\

Apart from bubbles can't see the connection,no hole for the menu holder and the rim on mine is flat the dunhill one is rounded?Keith.

Bernard means the general shape without the Dunhill fitting, but I think he's pressed for time getting ready for the CAmbridge event.   :)

Hey there Keith!

I have a clear Whitefriars bowl of the same width, but the sides on yourn (as they say in the West Country) are a bit too high for Whitefriars.  Also the pontil is, in my opinion, not circular enough.

Still a very nice bowl though.  I like it!

Hej

Were hard to tell if you ashtray is from Kastrup Glasswork. There is a ashtray in the Kastrup catalogue from may, 1954 it has item no. 511 and is 4,5 cm in hight and 14 cm in diameter.

Yours look higher so I think not, more likely from a Swedish Glasswork I think.
