If it takes a diamond to scratch it, it is Sklo.

I think that what Frank is implying is that Sklo simply means glass in Czech, so yes it is sklo.

As you mean is it sklo union, then that's an entirely different question. :)

I have a smoky blue one of these and I'm sure somewhere on here, years ago, it was determined that they were a Sklo Union production but I don't think designer and house were absolutely id'd. 
I'm sorry but I will have a bit of a trawl to see if I can find a thread but I suspect that may be needle in a haystack unless someone recognises it.

I can't find this ashtray in my notes, so I'd also be interested in finding out who made it. :)

Here's a thread about the same ashtray, but with a glow:  http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,27239.0.html
