    OT--But All Those Folks on Appropriate Boards Can\'t Give Me an Answer

    I've got this thing that can't seem to find its true identity. So far people have suggested:

    Bride's cup" or a "marriage cup"
    Compote
    Footed candy bowl
    Card Receiver
    Spooner (someone said it definitely was, someone said it definitely wasn't)
    Salt cellar
    Wassail bowl
    Greek Urn
    Salt Bowl

    It has been suggested that it is:
    Art deco
    Italian vintage
    Renaissance style
    Victorian
    Baroque
    Does anyone know what it really is?

    The glass part is about 5 1/2 inches in diameter and about 4 3/4 inches tall (glass only). The entire piece is about 9 3/4 inches tall. The base is 6 7/8 x 3 7/8.

    It belonged to my grandmother so I know that it is a minimum of 35+ years old, but probably much older. I really want to get it listed but am trying to wait until I know what it is. Any help would be greatly appreciated.



    Thanks,

    Sue

    Sue, I would say this is from the Art Nouveau period (1890 - 1914).

    I don't know a lot about items that are not 'soft' (i.e. not clothing, textiles,
    etc.) but I'm pretty positive this is not a salt cellar, or greek urn.

    Hopefully someone will come along to help you.

    Very attractive!

    Sue
