cut glass ??

Hi folks,
Im not sure what this piece is- its heavy & well worn - i feel early-mid C19th. Is it a short vase? Oversized drinking glass? It looks the wrong shape to me to be either. Ive seen similar examples in books with a cover - described as sweetmeat containers ,confitures  or simply covered jars.
Any ideas?
It is about 19cm high and 9cm across the top.

Ive got loads of decent quality old cut glass to get rid of(Got to clear the loft before builders arrive). I'd like to check it all out before i do- Can anyone suggest good online sites/books that can help me check out decanters, drinking glasses etc. Thanks David

David,
no idea at all I'm afraid - sorry - but clearing out:
is there some pressed glass also please :?:

Sorry Pamela - mainly cut glass and other blown glass i think. Lots of it! - I didnt think i had so much. I had to clear a loft and a garage . I now have crates of glass all round the house.

Oh ! Ive just remembered two pieces of pressed glass. I re-found these 2 pieces today. They were identified for me on this site ages ago. Inca pattern . They are clear and green versions of this vase (not carnival colours)        http://www.ddoty.com/incavase.html

pamela:
Hi David,
...and you want to get rid of them too?  :wink:
I know that this is not the platform to negotiate - perhaps you may drop me a line to arminewa dot aol dot com - thank you!
BTW cannot trace an INCA or INKA pattern in my copies of catalogues  :(

Lustrousstone:
Inca would be the carnival name for it, not the catalogue name Pamela. Seems that carnival folk have to name everything :lol:
