Topic: Bell-shaped thingy

[Lustrousstone]

It's not a bell, nowhere to hang the clapper, and I doubt its a vase, as the knob is hollow but with a small entrance. The rim is cut and polished; it's not uranium; and it's 6 in tall. Any ideas what it might be please?

Think it's a bell cloche for the garden but ornamental at that size.

We sell graduated sized ones in sets of 3 at work 'made in the Victorian style'

Perhaps not the garden but indoors or the greenhouse. I'm pretty sure it not new, perhaps mid 20th C

Definitely a Victorian bell Cloche...they still make them today.... brilliant for starting off some seedlings indoor or outside:
