HI EVERYONE

I HAVE A GLASS CONTAINER WHICH HAS THE LOOK AND FEEL OF THE 18TH CENTURY IT MEASURES APPROX 6 INCHES HIGH AND IS 4 INCHES AT ITS WIDEST. IT HAS A CRUDE RING ENGRAVED BELOW THE RIM AND IS QUITE HEAVY AND THICK GLASS. COULD ANYBODY HELP IN IDENTIFYING ITS AGE AND USE.

REGARDS

RAY

The glass is nearly flawless inside and on the surface as well as very clear, which should be an indication of a more modern glass making process. :icon_scratch:

Appears to be a small vase, possibly for flowers. Maybe early 20th century or so, rather than 18th century. :)

Art glass vase. Hand blown and formed, applied ring on the neck it appears.
No way I would even try and date this from a photo.
Nice glass.
