Hi folks, can anyone tell me what this may be used for ? The maker also please ? Flat polished base approx 5 and a half inch high.The 2 nd pic is looking down on the top..the handles seem to be fused on rather than molded.
thank you Jean

They were also made in the UK by the now defunct Heron Glass up here in Cumbria.

So it could be Heron or Jozefina glass ? The plot thickens !
