you guys are funny... I thought it was a bong too...
it's about 8 1/2 inches tall and almost 5 inches wide at the bottom.
and it has a slight indented bottom
It definatley looks like some kind of wine carafe to me to as Brian said, although a little more out of shape than any I've ever seen..
BOB
BTW where did it come from?
I got it from an Antique shop in Mchenry IL, the guy there said he didnt know what it was but that the seller had dug it up and brought it into the shop to sell with some of his other stuff that he sells there. Not much info. So, I couldnt get over how much it looked like a bong.... he he... so I bought it.. paid $35 bucks. (BTW:I'm a non smoker)
