I've had this for a few years now and I've not seen another one like it.
It has good age wear to the base and has a 60's feel to it. I'd say Scandinavian??
Size wise it's approx 8.5" tall and 7" across.

It would be lovely to know more about it and I'd appreciate any help in ID'ing it.

Very interesting. I've never seen anything like it. Looks almost unfinished.

Hi again!!
I think I know what you mean. I've always thought, from a practical p.o.v, that it should have an handle to help with pouring. Though, I do think it looks better without!!
More style than function, this one!!
Or maybe it is just 'unfinished' after all!! :? lol who knows!!

may I guess it is part of a (scandi?) cruet set, sitting in a chrome holder?
:?

Hi Pamela.
You guess away. It's good of you to try and help. Thank you :wink:
As for it being part of a cruet set, I think it would be too big for that. Most cruet sets I've seen are a lot smaller. This jug/vase/whatever is approx 220mm x 190mm.
Mind you saying that, if it is part of a cruet set, I'd love to see the giant salt and pepper pots that go with it!! :lol:

I'll take a stab at this one. :wink: It looks like an apple with a piece sliced off. Perhaps it is a fruit bowl ..... :?:

Hi Lily.
Y' know what, that's a pretty good stab!! As daft as it sounds, it never occured to me that it might be a fruit bowl!!
One of the things that attracted it to me when I first saw it was the apple shape, when you look at it straight on. But, when you look at it sideways, the 'lip' bit looked like it was there for pouring liquids. It looked like a jug, all be it a very stylised jug, and the 'jug' thing got stuck in my head!!
But yeah, it could be a fruit bowl. It would explain why it's the worst 'jug' in the world to pour from from!! :wink: lol.

It reminds me of an ice bucket style made by Morgantown Glass (I know this isn't Morgantown). Could the "pouring lip" be a place to hang the ice tongs?

Hi
Sadly, it's not. I've tried with my pair of ice tongs and they just kept falling off. Shame that, it was a good idea. :wink:
It's the 'belly' of the bowl and the edge of the pouring lip protruding out more or less the same distance that stops it. We'd be hard pressed to get anything to hang from there. :(
By the way, is your real name Connie?

By the way, is your real name Connie?
Yes, or at least that is what my parents call me :wink: Although I have been called other names at times :oops:

Funnily enough, that's the name my daughters parents chose for her. :)
It's cool, in an odd sort of way, but you're the first Connie, other than my daughter, Connie, that I've ever spoken to...typed..had anything to do with!!
Although I have been called other names at times :oops:
Yeah? Mind you, I got a couple I've been known to utter under my breath at times with my Connie too!! Must be a Connie thing. :wink:

Okay, my stab (in the dark) is a nut dish. Saw a similar (bowl tilted on side) shape at a home decor home-party.
Go on, prove me wrong :lol:

Hey Jay,
Thank you for enjoying my 'have at it'. Have you loaded it up with fruit yet to see how it looks? :wink:
Isn't it fun to exchange thoughts and ideas and see the different pieces people share. My personal pleasure is paperweights, but now I am looking at some of my other glass in a whole new way.
Anyway, enjoy your interesting ????. Maybe one day you'll have a post saying .... I have one just like yours and know for sure it is a .......... made by .......... in ......... and it is worth :shock:!
Til then, all the best .... Lily

Heh!! Thanks Lily :)
It does look good with apples in it!!
And yeah, it is fun to talk to others who share the same passion, and to look at their collections.
I know what you mean with the looking at glass in a whole new way. There's pieces in other peoples collections in here I wouldn't dream of buying for myself, but when you see them in the context of those other collections, they look really good.
I think I enjoy that part of this place as much as the finding answers to my questions.
When it comes to glass, I know what I like but I don't know much about it.
Take care Lily :wink:

That is, without a doubt, the nuttiest idea so far!! :lol: :wink:
