[QUOTE="KSW, post: 4502756, member: 8708"]I picked this up from the antiques fair today. I saw it from across the room and scooped it up. It wasn’t expensive but I have no idea what I have bought. It reminds me of the opalescent glass beads on some of my Czech/Bohemian necklaces? Am I close? What age is it likely to be? The stem and base are just clear glass with an air bubble in the stem and the two parts don’t look entirely harmonious! The workmanship is a bit ugly, it’s slightly lop sided and has damage with an internal crack (yes I know :rolleyes:but I like it). It’s not easy to photograph so ended up using a black background . It’s approx 12cm tall. Is this for a specific purpose? It’s not a drinking glass so could it be for desserts? The base has a rough pontil on the underside and a raised rim on the upper side. Any information welcome please :-) Thankyou [ATTACH=full]394202[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]394203[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]394204[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]394205[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]394206[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]394207[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]394208[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]394209[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]394210[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]394211[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
