Title: Fish mark on Sommerso ashtray.
Post by: rosieposie on July 05, 2010, 06:37:43 PM

Hello everyone....back again for more help. :sun:
Please can anyone help with the identity of the maker of this ashtray with a fish mark on the base?

It appears to just be a fish that someone cut onto the bottom. It isn't a company mark most likely. The bowl looks like it could be a Mandruzzato dish with an added fish.

  Hi there was a pale blue one of these with the same fish on the bottom for sale last year ,exacly the same but the fish could be seen from all angles due to the light colour of the glass and prism effect ,i cant quite see the same effect with this colour.interesting dish !!.
