I have this glass object from my aunt, but I have no idea what it is!

Hi and welcome.  :)
I think it's a candle or tealight holder. And I think it's Scandanavian but I can't remember who.
But somebody else will know.  ;)

It is a tealight and  Georgshütte rings a bell.

Labelled example for La Vida Germany

However, I know I have one in one of the unpacked boxes, and that I had identified it, but I had not come across La Vida crystal before.  I really thought Scandinavian from memory.

Its used as a pot warmer.  I had one a long time ago but never used it as such. They are quite heavy.

Thank you for all the help. Looks like a German pot warmer it is!
