Topic: Bumps, blocks, and Nipples.....Ashtray ??

[antiquerose123]

Hi (me waving smilie):

I found this.  Believe it to be an ashtray -- and thinking it must be Czech.  It has nipples/bumps around the sides, and some block type of pattern also.  It is:

~ 6 inches wide
~ 2.75 inches tall
~ Pressed Glass, as can see 4 quarter seams
~ Good wear on the bottom.

Any idea on the age, or the maker on this one?  I think it is Czech (Sklo Union) IMHO, but I have not found anything to match yet.  Just a Gut feeling.

Thanks as always....

Spot on Rose, I think it is a design by Frantisek Peceny but I have only seen it as a vase before. Will see what other info I can find.

That was quick..... http://sklo-union-glass.com/components/com_virtuemart/shop_image/product/20211_vase_4dc17ce2d8ac9.jpg

From the Glassexport 1983 catalogue, made at Hermonova hut, this shape pattern no 20257. Also made as a bowl in other sizes, a vase in three sizes, candlesticks, match holder and two sizes of covered pot.

Very nice, Rose... You can also see the whole set in the 1974/5 edition of the Czechoslovak Glass Review:  https://picasaweb.google.com/Jindra8526/Glasrevue19745?authkey=Gv1sRgCMbU2NLb3emcdQ#5526009160798758402

Thank you glassobsessed and Anik for your replies   

Maybe it is not an ashtray -- but a small bowl (I guess).  I just assumed it might be an ashtray?? 

My gut did tell me it might be Sklo Union/Czech -- but was not sure of the maker, or the age.  So is it 1974/75 for age, or from 1983??  for age??

So Thanks for the fast answers and replies for the Confirmation here!! You folks are amazing!!

It's described as an ashtray in the CGR, but I'd use it as a candy dish.   Peceny designed the set in 1970, so a little earlier than you thought.

Thank you so much!!  Now I know it is an ashtray!!  Thanks for the date also, as I have already *attached* a little label to this item so its history can stay with it.  I try to do that with everything here......LOL. 

I like to give the history back with the item (via a sticky note) as it no longer "...just a piece of glass here.......it has a name/maker/and age...".  Thanks again!!
