[I]Anyway - why so thick ?[/I] A little frog thing on top would not weigh much, the exterior diameter is only 2 1/8" (5.6cm). Glass thickness is just shy of 1/4" at 6mm. Overall height is 4 7/8" (12.5cm). Base diameter is 5.5" (14cm). Googling "green cut to clear vase" produced images virtually all of which were more intricate. The oil lamp search suggested this configuration is not correct, as the glass oil receptacle is shown attached to a base. A perfume bottle turned up but unless this held cheap eau de mouffette it seems much too big. Perhaps a cologne bottle missing a stopper with a fitted neck assembly? Any ideas on it ? Age ? Origin ? TIA ! [ATTACH=full]178083[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]178084[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]178085[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
