    So I bought this because I thought it was a perfume bottle. The stopper seems original for it. But there is a smooth hole in the bottom. The 3 glass legs makes the glass body stand about 1 inch from the ground. With the stopper it is 7 inches tall. I cannot imagine this is just to sit there and look gorgeous! Thanks for the help!

    A wasp trap? Put a piece of sugar-soaked cloth inside and they find their way but can't find their way out?

    Would there be a fitting for it that is missing here? With holes in the bottom and top, the oil would run out.

    A bung of some sort, perhaps? Or a reservoir?
