    I purchased this yesterday out of sheer curiosity and that I love glass of most descriptions . What on earth is this ?
    I thought, at first, it had a snapped pontil but, the hole that has been ground , is an entrance to the piece which is hollow. This makes it appear to be a vessel. There is also another small hole that appears to have been drilled . I’ve examined it from all angles. I can’t find any identifying marks and I haven’t got a clue!
    It’s quite weighty If that helps and measures about 5”x4”
    Thanks for any suggestions .

      Doesn't look like a Shuidi or Suiteki..my guess is incense holder?

      Homage to the Steve McQueen movie, "The Blob"?

      Hi and many belated thanks to Dav2no1 and Kwqd for their time in posting helpful comments. Interestingly when I laid the vessel down,looking at it from across an average room, it looked like a dog! I haven’t been able to get the camera lens to see it the same way but I’ll keep trying!
      Thanks so much for loves from

      I joined this group about 5 years ago and have recently been able to resume my uneducated passion for collecting anything in glass , good to see familiar names here
      I would like to have replied more quickly but life keeps interfering with my hobbies !

      Just don't wash them with hot water as that can make them crack internally !~

      Thanks to Gino and PhilDMorris for the love.
      Thanks for the heads up on hot water PhilDMorris I’ll avoid that .
