Here is a classic Lutken design for Holmegaard, in a less common colour.  The raised centre is typical of Holmegaard.  Lutken wrote in his book, 'Glass is Life":

The Fried Egg is what we called this ashtray. A natural use of a cold parison [the first small bubble of glass at the end of a blowpipe] and hot, flowing solid glass rolled out on a shaping block.

His writing is not as clear as most of his glass, but I presume he means that they used a parison as a mold to make the 'egg' in the middle.  It's a quirky, unique design.

Height: 4.5 cm
Diameter: 18 cm
Weight: 960 g
Engraved "Holmegaard 17969" and the Lutken monogram to the base
Condition: wear to the base, some scuffs and scratches to the "fried egg" part (largest 2 cm), a few scratches elsewhere
