No-one likes general adverts, and ours hadn't been updated for ages, so we're having a clear-out and a change round to make the new ones useful to you. These new adverts bring in a small amount to help pay for the board and keep it free for you to use, so please do use them whenever you can, Let our links help you find great books on glass or a new piece for your collection. Thank you for supporting the Board.

Hi and welcome.  :)
I think it's a candle or tealight holder. And I think it's Scandanavian but I can't remember who.
But somebody else will know.  ;)
Cheers, Sue M. (she/her)

It is a tealight and  Georgshütte rings a bell.

Labelled example for La Vida Germany

However, I know I have one in one of the unpacked boxes, and that I had identified it, but I had not come across La Vida crystal before.  I really thought Scandinavian from memory.

Its used as a pot warmer.  I had one a long time ago but never used it as such. They are quite heavy.
