I picked up this enormous glass thing at a junk shop yesterday. what on earth is it? it weighs over 25 lbs and has a number 2 on it. it looks like there must have been a cover on it because of the frosted rim. maybe from a lab?
not sure where to put this, but art glass is not right!

You sure it's right side up?
I have less than no clue, lol!
good guess on the laboratory glassware; it's part of a desiccator:

graphic example of how one works; the desiccant used defines allowable moisture content:
