Title: What the heck is this? // Worth anything?
Post by: magdelaina on April 19, 2013, 03:26:20 PM

hi everyone. i found this thing in a store once... i don't know what it is. that hole in the front there only goes in about 2 inches and then it stops as if you're supposed to pour a liquid in there or something? like it doesn't open into the rest of the vase.

anyway, could just be a neat decoration/jug but the hole thing is kinda weird. thought i'd see if anyone had any ideas.

thanks!

Yepper, Wullie got it!

Around my are would bring $35 - $70.  High end would be decorators...low end would be individuals...since it has the stopper as well!!
