    Hello everyone! I fell in love with this little something or other.
    It stands 4 1/8" tall and base measurement is 3". The top opening is 2". My best guess for usage is either as some type of warmer or as a base for a vase. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks!

    I don't think "warmer" but it definitely had something on top - I think this is where Cheryl's trove of catalogs would be helpful.

    Thank you both. It does indeed look like the base to a vase.

    Master salt? (needing a liner)

    It's 3.5 inches tall, making yours taller, but seems like it could be?

    Sounds to me like they had it on sale at some point?

    I forgot to mention: it's sooo charming. Is the bird (a crane? an egret?) trying to swallow that flower petal? :) funny
