Usually a ground lip like that meant there was some metal rim attached. I'm guessing it was part of something like a lamp or other decorative item. If someone has other theories I'd like to hear them.

I'm betting they make it into a lamp. I was thinking it would make a neat porch light. _____________________________ FREE Online Medicine Guide - http://www.antiquemedicines.com/MedicineNexus/Nexus.htm Web Site - http://antiquemedicines.com Email : mknapp@antiquemedicines.com (in reply to capsoda) Post #: 7

They come in several colors with aqua as the most common.. I always considered them to be vases. The flat back allows display on a narrow shelf. George  (in reply to GuntherHess) Post #: 8

Status: offline I had one and showed it to Jim Hagenbuch from Glassworks auctions at the shuppes grove show. He stated they were modern and made for decoration. I can't recall what decade he refered to but they are not old and not in the antique glass catagory. The one I had was crude as hell!!! With a modern looking base?? It also had a hole in the back and puzzled me to death for awhile because nobody knew nothing about it. < Message edited by welddigger -- 10/21/2008 7:38:14 PM > (in reply to tigue710) Post #: 12

They're also pretty common, at least in New England. I've seen at least 5 of them in antique stores for 40-50 bucks, all aqua. None of them had holes in the back though, although I may have missed that because I pretty much dismissed them as modern and didn't look too carefully. Sean (in reply to welddigger) Post #: 14
