Hmmmmmm   and neither ashtray nor dish. I have been going through glass glossarys trying to find key words to describe it.;) Thanks for the input.  The lady at the oppie said there were " millions" of them in the 60's because they were very popular which makes me think Japanese, which isnt bad as I like Japanese  retro porcelain,

The Japanese glass industry is quite old and the stuff is often good quality. It's just that little is known about it. By Japanese retro porcelain I take it you don't mean modern Japanese porcelain in an older style (retro = backwards) but Japanese porcelain from the 1950s and 1960s.

It's a dish or centrepiece and probably purely decorative.

Thanks for that.  I like early 60's japanese porcelain. the madfe some really nice stuff, subtle , not in your face or too flowery.  I like the dish .  Its heavy and I like the colour and the way it still seems to move.  time for bed. I am getting too deep.  cheers :sleep:
