Squashed Gin Bottle Ashtray

A Squires Gin squashed bottle ashtray. After some research I believe this to be attributed to the craftsman potter Reg Moon (1930-2009). He made these in the 1980's and the artists Gilbert and George bought a gross of these. In the 1970's they had made 200 squashed Gordons gin bottles named 'Reclining Drunk'. These bottles were numbered.
The engraving on the base says, 'Squires Gin London England', and has the number '238 E' underneath.
