I am not an glass expert, and not knowing an answer to friends question urged me to inquire about the style and possible age of this glass ashtray(which I like very much by the way). I do not need value appraisal(http://)

Welcome to the glass message board - we're happy to help you.
The syrup and cream slag glass has long been a mystery and is still not completely solved - but it has been suggested that it is Croatian or Serbian from the 1970s. We're hoping that you are in a position to find a definite attribution? If you do, then please let us know.

Thanks Ivo!
It does look 70s.
I am not sure really if I shall be able to trace the maker.
My guess was that it was italian.

Here is some interesting information about these slag glass pieces

I think these pieces date from the 1970s; they are frequently seen here in Vienna, so probably brought home from the "Yugoslavia" holiday ;)

It is pressed glass
-
Thanks everyone
:)
-
It looks like it's the work of glassworks Hrastnik (today Slovenia, then Yugoslavia) 1970s
-
You say that its pressed glass....Did you see two holes on the bottom side? One lip shaped 7mm in dead center and the other just off the center stand. Also I notice pattern swirl on the bottom side which would indicate a blowing process to me!?
If its from Hrastnik, does anyone have a photo with a work similar to diamonds on the back of this ashtray?
-
Rocco,
Thanks for the files.
I am looking at this pigeon bowl that has very similar colour spectrum and I can see that its colours are distinctly separated in three segments, whereas when I look at the ashtray, it has same colour patern all over.
-
Those are just pressing flaws. It's not blown glass
-
In couple places where it is chipped(edges) you can see glass below is clear, but you can also see dark svirled layers within clear glass like in marbles
-
It's still pressed glass made in a two-part mould (base and plunger). It has nowhere where it was attached to a blowing iron or a pontil iron. "Slag" glass like this has been pressed since the mid 19th century
-
Ok.
If its a made from two moulds souldn't it have a seam?
-
Not two moulds: a base plate and a plunger. No seams because nothing opens
-
Few days ago I bought a pigeon bowl that has the same colour palette but it looks like style may be different.
-
The bowl would have needed a two-part mould (or three-/four- depending on the seams).
-
It has one seam that splits it ideally in two parts vertically.
