<p>[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 465511, member: 51"]Any thoughts on what this would have been used for? It seems to be a bit older in its construction. Some bubbles in the glass. Sort of a dent in the glass at one point where some ink or other substance has gotten in. (photo 2) A first I thought this had remnants of black paint, but could be ink or similar. There were art supplies at the sale where I got this, maybe something to do with painting? </p><p><br /></p><p>The top is almost a handle. Any ideas?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]159148[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]159149[/ATTACH]</p><p>The base has a thin coating of something dark -- ink like. Base is perfectly flat, ground, possibly saw cut.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]159151[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]159152[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
