Hi again,the blue when i first saw this made me think it was new,however the base hints at age or alot of use,i think it was encased in white then blue and cut through to the clear glass,interestingly it has small snippets of writting on each window,"je" being one that could be French,i get the feeling it's missing it's lid and it does have a bit of a ring to it,any idea's,many thanks.
