It's an antique car vase. They were placed into hooks onto the outside of cars...whether funeral cars or a Buick or what have you...and bouquets of flowers were put into them. This pretty vase doesn't have it's hook...BUT it is beautifully intact. It is cone/sconce shaped and has pressed grape vines and grapes all over it.
Such pretty detail! I see that the holders can be purchased on Ebay. However, this does have a hole in the glass, so that a hook could be secured to a wall.
This would look lovely as home décor or on a door. Anyway, I was glad to find it and have listed it in my Etsy shop. It has a tiny crack in the very tip of the glass (amazing that's all since this probably bumpety-bumped along the road quite a bit) that does not affect the prettiness nor does it leak. Anyway, I was delighted with the find. Hopefully someone else will be too!

I've never seen one of these car vases before and how amazing that it's still in such great shape...what a wonderful find.
Hi Michele,
What a darling find and so pretty. I had no idea what these were used for and so glad you shared the info. It sure would make a nice wall accent or hanging from a door knob or hook.
Thank you for sharing.
Have a wonderful Easter week.
Hugs!!
