Measures 7 1/2" X 2" wide. Is the design lattice work? Stands on it's base but also very well balanced on its edge.
Need help with orgin, maker,title (use) and value?

Yes for napkins. It looks like screen-printed slumped glass to me, possibly German

If German, probably Filigranglas.
How thick is the glass? Filigranglas tends to be quite thin.

Printed, not filigrano.  I vote Paşabahçe...

Turkish?
Filigrano is a technique, isn't it Ivo, not the German maker of printed slumped glass, "Filgranglas" - unless I've got the name wrong, but that's what I've seen written on the labels. ???

Yep. Could be anything really - even Mediterranea recycled.

The interesting thing about this piece is that if I sit it on it's edge it is very well balanced.

Check http://glassgallery.yobunny.org.uk/

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flabeg tells us the company went into receivership in 2013 (the text is considered not to be fully correct, however).

1980 - 2000 it was owned by Pilkington.

Hi
don't know how accurate this is, as I searched for chance glass when I saw this, but the seller believed it to be and described it as Spiegelunion Flabeg West Germany?
