My friend and I enjoy looking at antique stores and thrift shops, particularly the glassware. We can spend hours doing this and have fun talking of sparked memories and/or, wondering “what is it”?
On our last trip we came upon an unusual item…a two-piece glass object: about 6″ high, and the top piece set into the bottom piece. The top had a twist-on metal handle and cover with something similar to an eye dropper with a plunger so when you pressed on the handle it looked like it would suck up whatever was inside to dispense it. The top glass piece had a honeycomb pattern so we decided it was to dispense honey but we had never seen anything like it.
We decided it was worth thrift store price to buy it and see if it worked. I brought it home, cleaned it out, bought a jar of honey and poured the golden liquid into the top piece.
The result: it works…really well, and it is very beautiful besides. I’m delighted and I still wonder where this honey dispenser came from, why we’ve never seen anything like it before, and are there more out there? I would think there might be a market for something such as this.
Looks great with the honey inside!
