Not sure that I could even use something so pretty if I were to take back up my dreaded, beloved habit. Love, the lines to this one!!!! No signature or stamp to clue me in to the maker :(

love it!!!!!!!!!
It could be Skrdlovice .... forget about the former beloved habit.
Great! No doubt inspired by Per Lütken's designs :)
Wooowhooo, I found a treasure! Love when that happens :) Thanks for the love and comments BELLIN68, vetraio50, austrohungaro, and scandinavian_pieces! I will take a look at Skrdlovice and see if I can find one like it...
I think it’s called a popelnik. If it's the one I've seen a design for then:it’s catalogue number is 6022. That is the 22nd design in the catalogue in 1960. The design is attributed to the Stahlikova – Veliskova design team..
Do these approximate dimensions give a general idea:
8 cm high & 13 cm across (3.15 x 5.2 ins)?
Milena Veliskova, Maria Stahlikova
This one is approximately 2 1/4 inches high by 5 inches across. Too low?
It might be. I might have to go back and have another look!
I'm sorry thriftfan I've met a brick wall so far!
No worries! At the rate things get loaded here, I'm sure to come across it eventually!! Thanks so much for the info you were able to give me :)
Appreciate it aycockonxion!
Thanks for the love hedgewalker and retroechoes!
