Hey glass folks, I could use your help on this one. I picked up this pressed glass tumbler (or vase?) In an antique mall this weekend. I'd like to know about the age, pattern and if it was intended to be a tumbler or a vase. The impressed pattern gives it a really nice grip surface. It is heavy and the bottom has three molded fins on the interior of the glass. It is 6-1/2" tall and 3-1/2" in diameter across the top lip.
I'm guessing 1910-ish by the pattern and the feel of the glass. With a good washing, t will make a great beer or tall cocktail glass, even if it was a vase in its past life!

Looks like a beautifully intricate vase to me. Not a celery vase so can rule that out.

It's heavy for a glass, but what can I say, it's the exact right size and so after a good washing, I'm using it for one!
