This piece of glass is in a poor state, i picked it up in it's condition from a car boot last year it was only 20p and i've not had the heart to recycle it since. I'm not sure what it would have be used for or it's age but it's handy for storing the dogs paraphernalia in. It was too big to put in my little studio so i apologise for the pics, i think it might of had a lid and appears to be three part moulded there are three lines running the length of the sides, it also has a pinkish stain to the lower half.
It's 27 inches in height, 8 inches across the base and six inches across the rim.
regards Chris.

It looks like a jar for holding a pickled anatomical specimen for display in a medical museum. ;D

Hi ,
Or for spaghetti maybe ?
cheers ,

Spaghetti is 20" long, if that helps at all.
(the proper stuff, anyway ::) now quite hard to find - all you get is the half length stuff which is too short to wrap around the fork properly.)
But I like the notion of an anatomical specimen jar better. I've seen a lot of them, but can't remember if they were decorated or had fancy feet. I was looking at the contents at the time.

HI ,
Ah!!!! but that's the new fangled euro conform size 20 ins ::) , the spag from the taller trees was always longer ;D
cheers ,
Peter.

I thought the short form was more likely to be an english/british sort of thing - for folk raised on tins of soggy alphabetti stuff.
The EU wouldn't have allowed stuff that couldn't be wound onto a fork properly. :P
