Really Interesting
Hi, losgatosgirl. :-)
That truly is interesting. The finish is rather different for Royal Haeger, isn't it?
As to its use, I tend to think not as a coaster, because of the concave surface. There are no notches or rests in the edges, so that tends to work against its use as an ashtray.
How about a paperweight?
Hi, Keramikos =)
Yes, it is different than most Royal Haeger finishes. I've been searching the internet trying to find a similiar piece and have seen some with the same felt backing, but the tops looked nothing like mine.
Yes, it could be a paperweight, or maybe a shallow trinket dish?
losgatosgirl, I think you've hit on it: a trinket dish.
