    I have it for some time and I don't remember if I have posted before.
    About 1 1/4" tall, 3 1/2" across the top. My first thought is Chinese, probably having some age as there is quite a wear on the foot ring.

    Any thoughts?
    Thanks

    Are you sure its glass ? Very pretty thing . I say that because it kinda looks like stone of some kind, possibly jadeite .

    It looks like glass to me. I'd say older, probably not Chinese, their glass is mostly "newer" Research "jade glass"

    Sorry, you may be correct, I just usually think of the modern stuff when someone says China. My bad.

    No.
    Peking glass is many colors.
    The beads and bangles on the old Chinese sewing basket are considered Peking glass.

    I understand your confusion. Old Chinese glass is new to me too. I have not seen many in person. Some pieces that are not marked and don't have a typical shape can be easily mistaken for something else.
