Thoughts on Deco vase

[randazzo1]

Picked this up locally for $3.00 - seller said it was from the late 1920s and belonged to her great aunt. I have so little familiarity with glass that I realky cannot tell if it’s that or a pier one piece. It’s hand blown, it is purple at the top and gets clear as it goes down - the weird part is that there’s a purple dot in the bottom. It has a crackly texture and the top is cut like crystal. What’s your thinking in this one?

Yeah, me neither. Very odd.That's all I can say. Looks top heavy, no?

Looks like part of a lamp maybe? Just a guess.

They call them Dolly Parton lamps.

I gave that a half a thought myself, except for the lack of a hole in the base for a cord.
