Hi Ivo,
Your ashtray is a Tamara Aladin piece called "Taalari"aka "Greek Key" from the 1970 Riihimaen catalogue.

I have the vase in the same pattern, which is pictured in Smoke & Ice, pg. 79. It was actually designed in the late 1960's and available in 1970.

I prefer the green colour to the colourless  ;D
