[QUOTE="Bakersgma, post: 220594, member: 59"]Another church sale find and additional to the "green" collection. Loved the color and the dollar price tag! ;) But not a clue what this was intended for. Pressed in a two-part mold (they didn't even attempt to hide the mold lines), 3.5 inches tall, about 3 inches wide across the top, with a 2 inch wide opening into a 2 inch deep well (rounded at the bottom.) What I presume to be the bottom of the item is shown last. No marks any where and few signs of use. One odd thing is that "blue-ish" cast to the edge of what I think is the bottom - almost as if it were cased, and not visible anywhere else. Doesn't work in any way as a candle holder - the top opening is too wide and too rounded in the well, the bottom opening is too shallow and "spherical" in shape. Any idea what this was? Part of something else? Is "jadeite" the wrong term for the color? Or does it just become one of those oddities that looks pretty to a lover of green?
