No-one likes general adverts, and ours hadn't been updated for ages, so we're having a clear-out and a change round to make the new ones useful to you. These new adverts bring in a small amount to help pay for the board and keep it free for you to use, so please do use them whenever you can, Let our links help you find great books on glass or a new piece for your collection.

Open ended thingy
« on: October 27, 2010, 06:41:39 PM »
What is this then? It's open at both ends and hollow all the way through, the Bottom? end has a nice bevel on both sides the small end is sharp edged. My first thought was candle holder but I've not seen one similar. It is also a little on the orange side.

Not thought of that but aren't they vented at the bottom? Maybe that's what you mean by bits missing.

Oil lamp chimney? Maybe not, the glass is usually thin I think.
