Hi Kaz

I have the exact same one and have been trying to decipher between Murano and Whitefriars but really not sure - I am also intrigued!

Thanks peeps for clearing that one I am all a bit new to glass.  I have another green ashtray with loads of bubbles in it that I will load later that has some sort of lettering on the bottom although not clear.  Looks like (some initial) followed by think it says W.  Will be on laters and hopefully someone can id that.  Sorry to jump aboard your ship Kaz.

is that wear on the base or where it hasn't been polished?

Well it's probably either Czech or Murano. Hot worked glass of such a general form is always difficult to ID
