What IS this?

Any ideas? I just bought this at an auction....mostly because I couldn't for the life of me figure out what the green glass thing is??!! Anyone? I know, random.....

 

Someone should be along to help. Meanwhile, can you put pics of the bottom/base and other sides/angles to help with identification?

 

can you give size ?




lip stick holder on onyx base ?

if it's 10", it's not a lipstick holder .......

 

I like lipstick holder also......

 

It looks like a lipstick holder to me too.

 

Yup!

 

I don't have the item in hand until Saturday when I pickup my won items. I'll do a finds post too because I purchased some interesting items (in my mind anyways!) I never knew there was such a thing as a lipstick holder....the things I never knew I needed LOL!! I will do some looking on Ebay etc as I'm all about resale....Wondering about value......I paid $7 for the lot so ????

 

Lipstick holder for sure. I have one here in a different design and sold a few.
That green part at the bottom looks different than others I have seen.
Look for a mark on the base, sometimes there is one, sometimes not.

 

Here is one that sold on etsy that looks similar

Pearls, is there anyway to see the price on etsy solds?

 

I actually msg the seller, sometimes they'll tell you

 

$28 plus shipping. (Flipper Tools)

 

Thanks!

 

I've had one of these. They came in sets with other onyx bits, like cigarette boxes, lighters and such. Powder bowls too.

 

I think it's super cool, and I've never seen one of these before....almost want to keep it but need to get some of my money back LOL

 

I think Art Deco is a bit ambitious, style and period-wise.

 

It's sixties. Peak sixties.

 

Absolutely, I remember those onyx and brass items.

 

My 90 year old plus neighbor has one on her dresser top. A different one than the OP but the same idea.

 

So what style is it considered if not art deco?
