<p>[QUOTE="ritzyvintage, post: 3452959, member: 18191"]Its a single flute Epergne, with wheel-cut decoration. Its function is for a table display. Flower-arrangements for the flute, and either flower-heads or fresh fruit for the dish. Cannot help with the maker... The flute was originally removable, however as with like some period scent bottles & glass decanter stoppers, the flute could be stuck/airtight-vacuumed and would take a professional to remove it. Twisting it or attempting to remove it yourself could easily crack the glass. The vacuum as been caused by placing the flute back into its socket whilst both parts were still wet and allowed to dry over time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
