    Vintage Green Jug with two corks, one on the top and a second one on the side with a separate blown glass piece within the Jug. It's about 14" tall and has a chain connected to both corks with brass knobs. There are no markings on the bottom. Very unique Jug/Jar. I would love to know what it's used for. I purchased it at an estate sale.

      A wine bottle??

      The inside part holds ice to keep the wine cold. something like what I have here:

      Looks like a contemporary decanter version of a Spanish drinking bottle. And yes, the inside pocket is for ice to cool wine.

      My apologies for the delay, and thank you to those who enlightened this newbie to this item. Thanks, that makes all the sense in the world.
