Hello, does anyone please have any information on this piece? There's no marking on the base and I can't find anything similar online. Thank you...

Quite like that - reminds me of the Babel Fish

Presumably not a perfume bottle? What size is it?

You have me wondering if you've got Big Ears!

I held off describing it as a scent bottle, because; fish. But I can't think what else it would be! It's 17cm tall.

I’m developing a complex - don’t think they’re that big Could do with a Babel Fish but not sure they can read....

Reasonable size then. On the off chance, I  had a quick look in McConnell’s decanter book (at the more modern end) but nothing there.

Fish sauce?

  It does look like a Babel fish, but the plug bit is rather large.

Maybe I'm a bit old - ekimp, I was trying to be funny and referring to an ancient riddle.
Why do elephants have Big Ears? Because Noddy wouldn't pay the ransom.
I didn't mean to be personal at all. 

Trying to be sensible now;
Could it be for bath salts? Fish are often appropriate for bathroom decor.

Thank you for looking Ekimp  Yes, could be bath salts or fish sauce. Though it strikes me as being more for something cosmetic than food.
