Topic: What is it , please.

well now, who needs some new specs. :pb:

Could it be a menu card holder? I have some glass knife rests that are moulded to look like wood with a little squirrel on the end......it would go very well with your 'thingy'.

Or, could it be for putting a reserved card in on a restaurant table, or a Directors/delegates name plaque holder?

Rosie, I think your suggestion of a name plaque holder is what Ivo was hinting at too.

[rosieposie]

Yes Anne, I think you are right, I just didn't cotton on, but it is late....I am waiting to 'snipe' an American listing!! ZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[Anne]

Crumbs, you must be keen to stay up this late for it.  Good luck!

[rosieposie]

Thank you Anne, it finishes at 2am!! I'll let you know the outcome!

Thank you all for your comments,   I have stood a photo in it and it does stand up ok. Probably as suggested for a table or advert as theres nothing to hold it in so it sits very loosely in the slot.  Cheryl

It's still rather bigger than it would need to be.....

I have just shown this to John and said 'what is it?', and he wants to know if the wood textured effect is on the base as well?? (He is an engineer, so thinks laterally!!)


(It went too high Anne,  BTW!!)

Hi, it looks like it was cast upside down, as the bottom is just smooth.  Is it possible to use wood as a mold for glass to get the pattern from the grain? or would it be too hot and  burn?  Cheryl
