    Hi

    I have acquired this as part of a lot and it's safe to say it's not to my taste so I want to find it a new home.

    I've never seen anything like it, can anyone tell me what this style of (vase?) is called? Any other info would be appreciated.

    Thanks!

    Can't quite see if there is a pontil mark on the bottom - could be hand blown. It could be described as cased glass (made in layers), in the shape of a bottle gourd. Is it actually open at the top?

    It is open, struggling to find another one like it to help with selling it.

    Possibly a glass vase that didn't turn out very well when it was all said & done. :happy::happy:

    Yeah - I'm getting a sort of 1960s polka dot vibe.

    I kinda like this. It was mold blown at least the bottom was. Can we see a photo of the area where the top ball and the bottom one come together. To me it looks like there was a cap of some sort.
