    Pretty. 3” tall. 7/16” diameter holes. What are they used for? Candles? I’ve got no clue. TIA! Sally:)

    I don’t get how they can be vases with holes in the bottom. Can you help me understand?

    8A238A7E-8FD6-4C88-826D-5AD1978D12EB.jpeg It looks a similar shape to the top part of this. I can’t tell if the glass is separate peices, and I doubt they would have been labeled, so....?

    @komokwa , would there have been a base that held them! They don’t have flat bottoms

    well....which is the bottom.
    i'm looking at the label on one and it seems that it's rounded to the hole shape which suggests to me a thin candle was placed in those holes......
    R they deep enough to hole a long thin candle...?
    can you see any wax residue there ??

    Just sayin......

    Not sure, just a suggestion. It wouldn’t make much sense for them to be labeled. The shape seemed to match.

    The hole could hold a thin taper. No wax residue at all. Will go with candlesticks! Thanks again

    Good question I thought the hole was just the bottom. I agree part of a lamp.
