Hi Christine,

Marcus will do, or Grumpy ;D ;D
As to who made the glass-blower, to the best of my knowledge, a Czechoslovakian company called Feigl and Moravka (Morawetz)
who were around from just before the first world war, until the end of the second.
Height is 160mm, so a little over six inches, and base is 130mm square (5 inches or so) and pressed sodium-potash glass.
He dates to the 1930s. He will not be being used as an ashtray. :D
Regards,
Marcus
David E:

David,
Thank you. Shot outside, on the first sunny day for a week ;D
That camera was a good investment.
imho, this is one of the finest pieces of Czechoslovakian pressed glass I have seen, and a real pleasure to own.
Regards,
Grumpy
