Hi, I am not sure if this is anything at all.....or if it is something.  Maybe to hold 3 inch candles.  Just though I would ask.  If nothing, no problem....but it is quite heavy.  TIA

that's a rose vase with its grill missing, also known in some countries as a "biedermeier" - a vase for a flower arrangement on a low table. Yours was probably made by US Glass  around 1915-1925 - but could be one of the Canadian glassworks too.

Could also be a sugar bowl, I have something very similar with a chrome plated lid incorporating scissor action tongs.

What size is it, just it's actually quite similar to an Avon jar I saw recently!

Hi -

It is about 3.5 inches high, 4 inches wide (@widest), and with a opening of about 2.5 inches.  Very solid piece of glass, for the size of it.

The bottom does seem to have quite a bit of wear, not sure if that shows up in my photos...and I looked around on it, and I see no Avon mark.  Doesn't Avon mark all there things quite well?  I do not think I have seen an item by Avon that is not marked. Any older Avon stuff I have here (60's & 70's) is marked well.  Avon, (to me), always seemed to make sure all there stuff was marked.

So not sure if these measurements help any (?)  Hope so.
TIA

Is this like yours Rose?

Hi there Lustrousstone:  :hiclp:

I think that is it by the shape.  I wondered if there was something to go on top. I think the design of mine (glass cuts) may be a bit different than that one, but I think this is what it is.

So mine could be around that age....Maybe?  Thanks...Bravo.
