Featured Softball sized globe

What is this for? Probably only 70's or 80's vintage, but that's only a guess.

It has a rose flower decoration on top so I'm guessing it is more at home on a dinner or coffee table than a chem lab bench.

 

is it glass or plastic?

 

A trinket bowl according to the internet.

Awesome, thanks! Gotta' use the right keyword.

I tried "jar" and "container". I didn't think of jewelry, but I thought it could be for face powder.

 

Or maybe could go on a lady's vanity.....with powder puff in it??

 

seeing an assortment very similar to these as Duvinne perfume sets with an insert to hold miniature perfume bottles

Ahhhh. Incomplete.

 

Well done TC !!!!!!!

 

It would be cool to have the little bottles, but maybe this is the point. You use up the perfume and then you have a useful covered jar to continue using. I guess collectors would also want the bottles. Wah,wah.

 

With a 3" I.D. and rose relief, it would be perfect for displaying your Pete Rose signed baseball!

 

Thank you so much for posting this as it was driving me batty. I knew I had seen a piece like this but could not find anything in my searches last night. If I had looked through a couple of my reference books I would have found it very easily.

Hello @Dwd & welcome to the forum!!

You might be able to sell it easily by listing it in the vanity / perfume section on eBay. Someone might have the 3 mini bottles but not the glass piece.

 

Not to worried about selling that piece. Just sold a dozen gallon fruit/pickle jars today ($50), but she forgot to take the 3 free art glass items. They are birds. The head-up one looks like a crane. The head-down ones have broken tails.

Just found out my lead-acid battery glass is going for $80 - $100 each. I have four one gallon+ and one tall 3 gallon. The 4 small are still in original 6 pack box from Anchor Hocking. Top and part of one side of box torn off and missing (along with the other two of the 6 pack. Shucks!)
