Topic: Two more mystery items

[MarieW]

Here's my next two mystery items. The green Goddess glass i bought i thought was to do with the fire engine, but looking into it i think it might of come from a liner, could anybody confirm this please.

The other one i thought was a bell, but could it be one of those glasses where you have to drink it back in one, i can't remember what they are called.

Cheers

there used to be a t.v fitness instuctor called the green godess.

As to the seconed one you are thinking of a stirrup cup, but this isnt one, it is upside down, turned the right way up it is held in a metal ring on a stand with a tea light inside it, i have one, i will see if i can root it out

Hi Marie, I've split this off to a new topic so that it will attract others who may not be into your other item.

OK, the Green Goddess glass first... Green Goddess was a drink, a type of absinthe I seem to recall - I'm sure we talked about Green Goddess before... Leni posted about it I think?

The second item is, as Sue says,  a candle holder upside down (I have one the same that sits in a coiled spring  holder and bounces gently when touched, but some holders were unmoving. It should take one of those small round flying-saucer shaped candles.)

Found the earlier discussion about Green Goddess absinthe here: http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,833.0.html

Thank you so much, I never though of a tea light, mystery solved yet again.  And there was me thinking that the green goddess glass came from a cruise liner, thanks again, your so kind.

Tea-light holder:

(Belonged to my son who emigrated.  He asked me to sell it on ebay for him, but it didn't get any bids  )

Thank's for the photo, I don't think mine is worth a lot then.

Not much Marie, unless as a replacement for a broken one.   I knocked mine off the table onto our quarry-tiled floor and smashed it late last year, and have searched until I found a replacement some weeks ago in a charity shop (cost me less than a couple of pounds, so no great value to them as such.)
