I just love art glass pieces that are both beautiful and useful. I can't remember how far back has it been since I first got this tray, but it has been in constant use since then. And just yesterday I found it documented in the Loetz design catalog! Made in 1902 for Bakalowitz, 10" long. The outside, blue papillon. The (i)nside: cobalt Norma. I also has a huge polished pontil. It sold for 5 crowns (5 Kh) in the German currency of the time. I wonder how much is that in today's Euros!

Cool! I wonder what this was used for? Pen tray x 2? I thought you'd be interested in learning that the information listed at the top of the description of this production number "seitenansicht" means "side view".
