There are other views along side this in my gallery.

Thank you for looking

it looks like a piece of nazeing glass

Jean, is that an impressed mark on the bottom (like a seal) or just a pontil scar? I can't make it out from the photograph.

Hello Anne

I think it may be an impressed mark but it isn't very clear.

There are no sharp edges for it to be a snapped pontil.
There is a pointed ovel shape ?? fish  but I do not have any image to compare.
Thank you Ray re Nazeking - I do not know anything about Nazeking.
Thank you all for looking.

Is it a salmon, if so perhaps Strathearn

The second image reminded me of John Orwar Lake's bubbly textured pieces for Ekenas. http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y195/glassie/gregshouseglass004.jpg
but most likely way off mark...

Thank you Anne and Christine.
I will try to get a clearer picture of the pontil ?stamp- I did think of Strathearn but I haven't seen that glass impressed mark.
I agree Christine with the green swirls -did they ever make paperweights.
It did look to me like a paperweight that had gone wrong and had been converted to an ash tray-  remind me of my efforts at pottery- many ashtrays!!

Hello,

These dishes/ash trays are currently regarded as being Nazeing (no 'K'). You are unlikely to find any reference that includes them at this point in time, although there is Geoff Timberlake's book "75 Years of Diverse Glass-making to the World" for a detailed history of the company, the known catalogue and a selection of photos. The pontil mark is just that and not some sort of seal. Possibly broken and then finished using heat to get that effect - Adam?

There is a little more information about Nazeing on my site (see below). Look via 'Glass to buy', then 'English', then 'Nazeing'.

Thank you
 Nigel and Ray
for pointing out the Nazeing direction.
I will try a search to get more information about Nazeing if I can
Be Lucky
