    Stands just under 7" high. Center stem is offset. Thanks for your time.:cat::chicken::cigar:

    Odd would be the word for it. Maybe it's a tealight holder instead of a wine glass? It would look pretty with a candle in it.

    Haa Terry :D
    Thanks evelyb, yes it would be pretty as a candle holder, and that's probably what I'll do with it.:shame:
    If I don't stop keeping things my family is gonna kick me ass!

    It may well be a white wine glass; that would account for the bowl being offset. OTOH there's only one, so tealight holder it is.

    During a tour of the Libbey Facility in Toledo a few years ago they showed us that even though this stem was offset they could make it in their machines. Note the fire polished rim. I think it's from Libbey, but don't know it's purpose.

    I also think it could be for tea candles. Looks like the kind of thing they make in sets of different sizes.

    Thanks evelyb, cherry hill, and moreotherstuff :)
    I thought it might have had some age to it. It has some bubbles inside, but candle holder it is!, or when I have my once or twice a year glass of wine, I'll use it:joyful:

    It would look nice with a small bouquet of flowers and trailing greens...
