Description
Unusual 19th Century pressed glass object in a lovely shade of opaque blue.This has an old collector's tag attributing it as Sandwich Glass. We cannot find anything in the Sandwich Glass books that is at all similar, so we are doubtful of that attribution.
We are also not sure what this object was used for. The brass collar is threaded, so it may have been an oil lamp base, or perhaps it had a threaded lid and was used as a tea caddy ... or an inkwell .. or ... ???
At any rate, it is octagonal with convex panels, raised ovals, and a star base. The collar is gilt brass. An interesting object for further research, and quite attractive.
Measures about 4 1/4" x 2 12" x 3 1/4" tall.
