Beautiful Blue and Silver divided Dish. Has some very small flakes of foil. Nice clear mark on the back and the Model number M60. About 11.5 inches long, and 7.5 inches wide.
I remember many a households having these on the Coffee Table with Candies in them. Great looking Retro Glassware from Canada!!

Here is some info/link on this Glassware from the site of CANADIAN DESIGN RESOURCE [quoted below]:
http://www.canadiandesignresource.ca/ceramicsglass/seetusee-glassware/
""""Seetusee was a glassware manufactured in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba, Canada from 1960 until 1975...........All Seetusee pieces are unique as they were hand painted, cured and carefully sealed with a pigskin backing with a distinctive finish of gold paint that sets them apart from Mexican pieces. The colours are mixed, exciting and vibrant and have stood the test of time. Like many styles of art or craft they have gone through periods of popularity and decline. Each of the huge variety of shapes are identified by a number (with or without an ‘M’ prefix) stamped on the pigskin backing. The brand (Seetusee by Mayfair Glass) is also named on the backing, either in the form of a stamp or via a sticker label.
Look out for them, they are very beautiful and are becoming quite collectible.""""
