Thick, clear glass, rectangular vase. Sides are 8" x 8" square, Ends are 4" wide. Top is open. Glass is rippled, somewhat distorting the view through them. Could be used as a vase, small aquarium, diorama container, whatever the imagination can devise.....could even be set into a wall to allow light in without providing a clear view from outside, like in a shower stall, and could have a scene inside. Let your imagination run wild..... The color variation in the pictures is due to the lighting by flash in one picture and not the other.
