<p>[QUOTE="tyeldom3, post: 145605, member: 43"]Looks like a mug to me, with that handle, but has the narrow opening up top. Also the top part has surface chipping. It was labeled as an oil lantern base, but I have not found anything similar in searching, but I am probably not using the right search terms. The bottom of the glass has a swirl look to it, and the center of that almost looks like the letter "C" or "G", but it may be just the way the glass is swirled?</p><p>Any help and thoughts are greatly appreciated, thanks for your time.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie30" alt=":cat:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>P.S. Look at the ant that snuck its way into the top picture!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/eek.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":D" unselectable="on" /> I was taking the pictures outside...</p><p>[ATTACH=full]39024[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]39025[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]39026[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]39027[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
