Decorative object? Lamp part? Does anyone recognize it?
« on: January 29, 2023, 10:43:17 PM »
Someone in Georgia contacted me for help IDing this article.  Does not look familiar so I am giving you bunch a try at helping  :)

He reports:
Quote
Found in Georgia at an Estate Sale amongst many other antique/vintage items being sold. (Some other knob/tube insulators were at the house too, so that was my first guess, but I'm coming up short on finding a match

His description:
  • Amber glass with mold lines on each side. About a “honey amber” shade.
  • Lots of bubbles.
  • Length about 3.75”
  • Width just over 1” at the widest point
  • Ends ground flat.

  • I don't recognize it.  Looks decorative, the sort of colored glass bit that someone might save when something larger has reached the end of its life and is scrapped/disassembled, part of a lamp maybe.

    Easy one LOL. It's a kettle handle http://lustrousstone.co.uk/cpg/displayimage.php?pid=720. I have two kettles with such handles but no pics and they are hidden somewhere
