Teri:
Good day. . I am reaching out to glass experts in hopes of finding some further information on a piece of glass that has been in my family for over a century... i have 4  pictures that i am attaching
This item stands about 7 inches tall. I was always lead to believe it was a pickle dish, but I'm not so sure. Any information you may be able to provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much for you time


 

Ivo:
Hiya Teri and welcome to the glass message board. You have a nice item on your hands, in an attractive colour. I'd rather call it a tobacco jar than a pickle jar - but that does not help you on very much. 

It works a bit German or Belgian - but could also be from your southern neighbours.  This is, of course,  pure speculation on my part.

Lustrousstone:
The Americans would call this a pickle castor I believe. A base shot and a rim shot of the glass might help. Are there any markings on the metal?

Teri:
there is a stamp on the bottom of the silver base, but its a misprint, and the stamp missed a portion of the metal. the only think i can make out is a 0125

Ohio:
In the U.S. we would call it a pickle castor, however without the SP company name its impossible to attribute & even then it would be difficult because many SP companies simply made the SP holders & subcontracted the glass jars to glass manufacturers. Yours is a bit different as most (vast majority) of configurations featured a handle & looking at the base of yours I am wondering if the handle has broken off at some period in time. Example of one I've had is below.
