id request for knobbly ashtray - ID = Pavel Hlava, 1968, Crystalex, Cz
(1/1)
Paul S.:
Initially, I did think that the knobbleness was just random, but in fact it does have a very distinct repeating pattern. Cased thickly in clear, and with a very good quality ground/polished concave pontil. About 120mm wide and 70mm tall. A friend has suggested that it is Czechoslovakian, although I did wonder at first if it was something like Liskeard. Hope someone can help please, and thanks for looking. :)

ahhh - so my friend's intuition was correct then. :) Sincere thanks to all of you - especially Jindrich. John - whenever I remotely see 'green' my torch comes out immediately, and I would never post a piece of green without letting you know whether it glowed or not. ;) Nice piece - the repeating pattern reminds me of gingerbread men holding hands and dancing round the piece - how sad is that :wsh:

Here is picture from Pavel Hlava exhibition in Brno this summer. I would not expect that it will be uranium glass.
