I forget what these were originally called when we were younger. The glass is thick and removable

    No, but it's ironic that I have them hanging on doorknobs!

    From a long time ago I remember the similarly sized/shaped "wall vases" (not hanging but slipped into a permanent metal, decorative holder) on the inside of hearses which carried family members of the deceased to the cemetery. They were cone-shaped glass like that with fresh flowers in them.

    I don't know if hearses are still designed/furnished like that or not. I noticed them as a child/adolescent when my grandpa died and then when my grandma died (the first two funerals I ever attended).
