It's a "hingy-thingy".  :ha:

(Scots for hang is "hing" - it rhymes with "thing" better than hang does.......)

Why does it have to BE anything?

A suncatcher?

If it wasn't for the loop I would say aubergine (eggplant).

If that is a hole in the bottom end it is probably a planter for an Antipodius cardamine enneaphyllos.

Vintage pulls were 5 inches. This is an inch and a half larger so it is large for a pull but not beyond the possibility, esp as it's a feature or statement.

They do make and sell new glass pulls so glass must be suitable for the purpose.

I was Googling Glass Pulls, and the like and came across this site which has the most breathtaking glass sculptures as well as lighting and other glass objects....it has pages and pages of the most beautiful glass, so although many of you may well have come across it,  I felt driven to mention it in case any of you haven't seen it.

Amazing stuff!  Not so sure about the "Cremation Urns" though (involuntary shudder!)

[rosieposie]

Funerary is forbidden on eBay, gosh how did I sell my bronze grave photo frame then   as to those chandeliers... 23 words spring to mind... cleaning, organic, messy
