Haven't a clue what it is, but just had to buy it. :roll:
Its 5.5" long and weighs 250g. Does anyone know what it is? :?

Just off to pump glass :twisted:

Definitely a knife rest!

We had beautiful cut-glass ones which belonged to my grandmother, when I was a child :shock:

After my grandmother died, my mother threw them away - yes, that's right, *threw them away* - because they were "something else to wash up" :x :cry:

Hello,
Leni, my Mother did the same thing! Isn't that wierd? Well, maybe just a co-incidence, but ever since then, I have wanted a knife rest.

Anne, " A dumb bell for vertically challenged glassies" Now, that's too funny!

Doh! :roll: I should have known, having seen ceramic ones in the past - but never a glass one :roll: I need to brush up on my dining etiquette and will use it to rest my knife on before eating my peas :wink: How posh is that!

Thanks Ivo, and Glen for the link.

Leni and Linda - What a shame, but I guess if we kept everything - we'd need to live in a warehouse!
