    It's in the item specifics.

    Tie.dye, looking at the photos in your listing, it looks like the channels either end or narrow down about an inch from the top. Is that true?

    If so, maybe it's a candleholder? (I know, still one more thing to add to the list!)

    LOL, actually I was kidding about that, but I did end up putting it in the description. The more diverse suggestions, the better!

    I see exactly what you're saying - I had seen that before but hadn't given it much thought. The channels don't end or narrow down near the top.

    The top 1/2" is solid glass and it looks like holes were routered out and the tubes then placed in there. That outline or shadow that you see appears to be where the solid glass is overlapping the tubes.

    Oh, candle holder! Gotta add that one to the listing! : P

    Ah, gotcha. So the tube sections are really tubes that were added during manufacture, not just tube shapes formed in the whole piece. I'm not a glass expert by any means, but that seems odd to me.

    Well it's up to $5.50 with 3 bidders & 4 days left to go - maybe one of the bidders will clue me in on what it is after they buy it!

    Looks like it may be a holder for a set of mini perfume bottles. I haven't read the whole thread so sorry if this has already been suggested.
