Far from my usual interest, but I liked the style and the beautiful iridescence in this ashtray.
Diameter 16 cm, height 4.5 cm.
Clear glass, iridescent layer on the under-/outside as far as I can see. Ground base.
The flower in the center of the pattern looks "frosted".
Is this contemporary carnival glass, or old?
Thanks!

It has a look of LGW to me. Here's an article I wrote some years back (it is on my old website).

Thank you very much, Glen and Ivo!
I read the link Glen kindly provided, very interesting.
Because of the vivid iridescence I had the feeling that this was more likely "new" carnival glass. (I guess production dates somewhere between 1960ies and 1980ies?)
Anyway, very nice piece of glass :)

And it looks even better in reality (like most iridescent glass).
