Well, another ashtray :sm:

Oval shape, colourless glass with amber/brown inlay. Irregular, hotworked rim. Underside and outside with textured surface, similar to my neodymium (possibly WMF) ashtray: http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,38694.0.html
Colours remind of my Zwiesel ashtray: http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,37861.0.html

But this design is quite different...

Thanks!
Michael

Thanks a lot for your input!

It has something I would think is a cigarette rest on one side (right side in the pics), that is why I thought 'ashtray'. But it could be a bowl or a soap dish as well :)
I forgot to give measurements: it is about 12 cm long.

And yes, it is quite an unusual piece of glass.
The colours riminded me of some Humppila or Kumela pieces, but the design not at all...
