Title: Great white slab
Post by: flick on August 24, 2006, 04:51:54 PM
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.

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.  :D

Is the bowl too small for a spoon rest?

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

True enough! but I do love the smell of cigars. :)
