Glass lump help please
« on: December 16, 2013, 06:33:02 PM »
Can anybody help me put a name and age to this piece of glass please, it's hand blown with a snapped pontil and heavy wear to the base with a black swirl to the upper rim and a hole in the top i think for a candle, it's 4 inches in height and 3 inches across the rim, i think it's a 60's piece. thanks regards Chris.
