The coaster / ash tray is 6 in. long x 3 7/8 in. wide. Originally it had a lighter that fit into the circle. Here is the design patent: http://chataboutdg.com/gallery/details.php?image_id=16448

Edges of the glass are opalescent when held to the light. The piece glows bright green under uv light. See mark on underside here: http://clicksnipwow.com/chataboutdg/img9222.search.htm
