It's here on Ebay, and I'm thinking of adding it to my collection.
Women and cats will do as they please,
and men and dogs should get used to the  idea.

Hi Simone, it is not my kind of glass anyway, so feel safe - I'm not going to bid on it. The photos - hmm - could it be Walther Driburg also?

Simone - I have an identical one sitting on my kitchen windowsill waiting to be listed - I was intending to ask on here who made it - you've saved me the bother.  I bought it in Woking about a month ago - I'll watch the auction now to get an idea of price - ta very much :-)

Hi,
I have this marked as a watch. It has thas cz feel, but is not right.
Please let me know if you buy and discover who made these.
I have a number of similar items being watched, all for the same reason, could-be, but I have a hunch many are not SU......
Regards,
Marcus

I've got some more photos of this gorgeous ashtray, which is now filled with chocolate mini eggs. Is it easier to identify now that the bobbles are clearer?

I abstain from Walther Bad Driburg - this is different I think 8)
Is it true that I see the yellow pearl second from the left only 'half-coloured' ?

Hi Pamela, The golden balls, at the bottom of the ashtray, are graduated in color from the bottom, to clear at the top, and it's a very subtle graduation, which is why you see only half the ball coloured from that angle.

I have to say it's really gorgeous and very well made.

Hi again Simone, as I said earlier I have it's twin!  I haven't photographed mine yet and I'm sure my pics won't compare to your absolutely amazing pictures - I shall try though!  I tried to look up Driburg after someone suggested it earlier in the thread but didn't get anywhere with it - have you any ideas yet about it's provenance?
