Just an ashtray but lovely quality and with a very Sklo Union base. Can anyone help?

No, you should purchase not one copy but also several copies of Sklo Union book for friends and immediatelly!  :hiclp:

Everybody here - in Czech republic, even book is written in English likes it and found this book as a great job and very well done. (And we are very distrusful and sceptic when foreigner is writing about our history or art.)

Both top designers mentioned in book, František Vizer and Václav Zajíc were shocked with the scale of information, that Marcus did colect about themselfs and their work - František said to Marcus "You know more than I can remember" :-)

I am expectant for the next box with Sklo Union books - it is must for every Czech glass collector. I hope for British or American ones can be useful as well. As minimum to discover something new about this small country in the middle of Germany :-))
