[QUOTE="UncleChuckTX, post: 350475, member: 154"]I passed up one of these the other day, because I couldn't figure out what it is. I found on Google these images of a matching piece, but could not click through to the site where they were posted. It's about 8 - 9 inches high, and 6 - 7 in diameter near the base. It's open and hollow, with random holes in the side.

Oh, I also looked in my copy of the Van Briggle Collector's Encyclopedia - but couldn't find a match there either. Thanks! [ATTACH=full]118787[/ATTACH] The one I saw had slightly different markings.
