Is this a Victoria Condom Mould?

    Thought I'd stick to the bold title haha. I am stumped as to what this is folks, I've seen some similar things before once described as condom mould but I was doubtful, as phallic as they are.

    The glass looks to be like that in dump inkwells and paperweights.
    So it will date to the Victorian or Edwardian era.

    So at that, I'll leave it to any of you to hazard a guess.

    I think it is approx 2 inches across for some perspective (the perfume bottle next to it is very small).

    It's a wall vase. You're missing the brass part that attaches to the wall. Similar to this one:

    Could be. I have never seen a sconce vase similar to this though.

    Neither made from this kind of glass or one this small and stout. Its a little unrefined for how polished sconces usually are too.

    Made from Spanish recycled glass in Valencia. Lot of it around.

    After looking at recycled glass as an option this looks older than most of that. English dump glass ware is the closest but that is literally the first recycled glass haha. So perhaps your correct actually.

    In pieces like yours, it's made to look older.

    Fair enough, I'll have to be wary when seeing this kind of thing again haha
