May be worth googling Krosno Glass , a Polish company who often use the bubble in the base you describe.

There are some image results on this google page and a link to the Krosno website.
Cheers

That is Krosno all right. They originally usually came with a little wick holder which fits in the top hole and you're supposed to burn lamp oil in them. We se a lot of these - it must have been one of their best selling items.
