    Probably studio piece and difficult to ID but just in case someone recognizes the style.

    Well the title sure got my attention but I'll be darned if I can figure out how you'd smoke weed out of it!

    Back in the 70's and 80's there was a craze in putting a few stems of dried "weeds" in a pot shaped like this one - bulbous body with a very narrow opening on top. Most of those were fairly small. Had nothing to do with "weed" as you might know it know.

    "Size matters" = how big or small something is can be an indication of origin and time frame.

    About 7 1/2" tall. I know this shape is known as weed pot/vase but never found a definition.
