Vintage BELLEEK Ashtray or Spoon Rest, Shamrocks

I know...it's probably really an ashtray but I think it would be a great spoon rest. It's Irish Belleek, with mark that indicates it was made between 1965 and 1981. Pattern is Three Three Leaf Clover Sprigs with ivory and pale yellow background. Shape is a horseshoe. Measures 4 1/2" long by 3 7/8" at widest part. Excellent condition..no flaws.
