Vintage Round Sphere Shaped Red And Gold Transparent Glass Vase Candle Holder

This lovely, vintage glass piece can be used as a flower vase or as a candle holder. I picked it up at a high-end estate sale, and at the time, it had a little votive candle inside it. (Candle is not included.) While it is transparent, it is red with lovely, sparkly gold places found randomly about. I don't believe that this piece is hand-blown because there is no visible pontil mark, but I guess it is possible that the mark has been polished out. It is for you to decide! This piece stands about 6.5 inches tall, about 8 inches wide, and its circumference is about 22 inches. The diameter of the top opening is about 4 inches. It has a bit of weight to it, weighing about 2.5 pounds. It does not have any identifying marks, so I have not been able to identify the maker.
The condition is used. It is in excellent condition. I do not detect any chips or cracks. There are some small bubbles visible from when it was made. Hello and thank you for visiting my listing!
