Iittala Finland Ashtray for 50c – Mid-Century Glass Bargain or Not – Op Shop Find

I could not believe it when I saw this bowl cum ashtray on the shelf at a local charity store and it was marked 50c.

Yes it did have one chip… but so did the identical one I have at home.

The piece I have at home came from my late Mother-in-Law.  It was always on the coffee table in the lounge room and was used as an ashtray.  It is the first piece of Mid-Century Glassware that I owned and I always thought that it was Iittala Finland 1970s.

When I bought my bargain twin home, I went to Google to find out what the pattern was, and could not find a similar piece.

Could I be wrong… can anyone help me to identify this piece please?

    Thanks

      Hello and sorry for the late reply. I have bee downsizing and no longer have this piece. I never did learn anymore about this piece. Most of the time I can find out the maker and history, but this one remains a mystery to me. regards Cheryl
