An object from the past evokes many emotions. A Pukeberg, Sweden Glass company, clear, chunky ashtray from my childhood reminds me that a very young age I appreciated quality and  design. My first piece was given to me by my mother, the second was found by surprise at a thrift shop. Finally, I found the third one on ebay.  They may not be valuable to an outside marketplace but they hold a special place in my heart.
