I think I am a magnet for unusual items. I can't pass them up, and then go mad trying identify them, although its a grand madness.
I immediately assumed this is Scandinavian, but have struck out at every turn. Does anyone recognize the style. I was thinking Riihimaki, but I have not found anything to confirm.
I forgot to add, the piece is 8" tall, and 4 1/2" across the widest part.
Help!
Beautiful!!!!
This is lovely but I am thinking Polish. Maybe Krosnos? Might be an oil burner thing...oil in the well with a wick...like a candle...
Kind of like this...

Amber, I see, yes very possible. Thanks, I will pursue that line of thinking.

Everyone, I just added dimensions, I forgot. :-)
Amber,
after much searching, I think you are correct, it is an Oil Burner, but it could be used as a bud vase too. But most likely an oil burner, thanks.
