Topic: What would this very large glass be used for ........ ?

[Della]

And any idea of age? 
It has a snapped pontil scar, lots of tiny bubbles within the glass, wrythen towards the top, made in 3 sections, large & heavy with plenty of wear to the base.
It doesn't have a deep enough bowl to be classed as a celery vase, unless you cut the sticks in half 
653g in weight
7.5" (190mm) tall
5" (127mm) deep bowl x 4.25" (108mm) bowl diameter
TIA

I can see one or two folk shoving a tea light in that bowl - what do you think.                   My feeling is that this is quite modern.

I'm sure I could get some nice single malt in that ! 

[Paul S.]

     getting it in is the easy bit  -  it's the getting it out that is more difficult ............  anyway it would douse the tea light.

[Della]

I tried the tea-light, Paul, it sits wonky  As for a malt  Never was one for shorts.
Good size for real ale though 

[keith]

Getting it out is the easy part Paul ! good real ale is ok but a good single malt is better, say 18-21 year old ! 

[Paul S.]

I think Della is being modest  -  bet you look great in shorts 

[keith]

Who ? me or Della ! 

[Della]

Nooo, not at all, Paul. Never wear them in the UK,, no matter how warm it gets.

oh, shame  ..............   bet Keith looks good in them - can't you just imagine those knobbly knees
