Title: Seeking ID of unusual Pink Depression Glass item - ? Night light base ?
Post by: interestingstuff on August 18, 2013, 07:29:47 PM

Attached are two photos.. a side view and a view from the top looking in the vessel.. clearly this appears to be pink depression glass.. I have some ideas as to what it is (what it's form/function is..) but it's just a wild guess.  Any input on any details (manufacturer, pattern, use, value) would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Still no ideas?  Not even a guess? :(

Hello and welcome to the board. I've no idea what your piece might be - I'm idly wondering if the lugs were to have a candle sat on it - perhaps it's the base of a night-light?

Could you please add dimensions for us as that might help a bit.

Don't know what this is but the only fine ribbed pattern of depression glass I know is Homespun by Jeannette Co  :-\

Thanks. Good question... it's about 3 1/4" diameter on top, 4 1/2" diameter on bottom, 2 1/2" tall
