    Hey y'all! Got a little head scratcher here. I bought a pair of these just because :) Anyone have a clue as to what it is used for and for a bonus, who dunnit? These blue glass cones are 2 1/2" tall x 2 5/8" diameter. Made of rather thin glass. Suggested to be a bottoms up or a tealight candle holder in an FB group.

    The person that said it was a bottoms up told me that McKee did the ones with the lady on the cone and that many different glass companies in the 1920s & 1930s made bottoms up, including McKee, Fry, and many others. I've never seen one like this

    I had a few of the McKee bottoms up glasses with the Pat number. It was the nekkid lady one.
    Yours are a very pretty color, but that is all I know.

    They look like they might have had stands at some point.

    The ones that held a tealight were in a stand. Seems to me kind of an awkward thing to set a tealight in. Would have to get it level before lighting. There are no rings that would indicate that had been in a stand before. I would think there would be some wear rings? This pic was provided in the FB group

    Those do look like conical tea lights to me, missing a stand. If they were bigger, I'd have suggested martini glasses: the sort which sit in another round bowl glass holding ice.
