Art Glass Trinket Dish/Ashtray

I was really taken with this dish because it's quite unusual - the white base carries an unusual shine to it and next to the red glass - well, the finished product is a wonder! I'm curious as to how they get that pearly shine on the white, and intrigued by the neat square shaped imprint inside the red glass - the squares are just about the same size and evenly placed. It's remarkable! There's no doubt that this is a good-quality piece of glassware - it could well be Murano, but sadly any identifying stickers are long gone. The dish carries some small scratches to the glass, consistent with age - but overall it's in excellent condition for its years and bound to put a smile on your dial whenever you spot it!
