Hi there

Back from the charity shop again!

What on earth is this? Its clear glass with a textured bottom (like WF bark). length 19.5cm, depth 7.5cm and height 3cm. It has a large oval indentation and a longer, shallower one extending from it. It's the wrong shape to be an ashtray, my first thought and is flipping heavy.

For lying a pen on?

Aaaaaaahhh! BIG possibility!

Does anyone know anything else about it? Make? Country? Date? You know, the usual things! I long for the day when I can identify and not just pick your brains.

For laying a pipe onto perhaps? Or a desktidy - keep pens and paperclips in?

I'd think possibly Scandi but no idea who, Flick.

Defo a pipe rest or a cigar ashtray, and most likely made in Germany - I have something similar with a Zwiesel sticker.

Thanks - I can say I bought it for the boyfriend for his Davidoffs then! That'll keep him happy.

Is the bowl too small for a spoon rest?

bit posh for a spoon rest!

I would rather rest a spoon in it than a pipe! :lol:
