The size is:
~ about 9 inches long

~ about 4.5 inches High
Back Opening Size:
~ about 5 inches by 2.75 inches

I don't think Sasaki- amber wasn't one of their pressed glass colours.
That Serek one looks different.
Go to bed! and try again tomorrow!
Nope I'm wrong...there's one here with the Sasaki sticker!

You are a babe too I!!
That is sooo cool how you both did solve this together and miles apart!!! That was fun just reading it and following the links ;) Funny how no one within the links really knows what it is either! I guess what ever you want it to be.
