Flea market goodie time again...I bought this 12"x6"x4" contraption a few weeks ago. My brother thinks it is an old nitroglycerin carrier, as they used to suspend the volatile liquid in blown glass vials, capped with corks in the late 1800's. I am more of the mind that it is a recent make of triple vases, just big enough to put a posy in each vial. Probably Pier One, as I couldn't get lucky enough to find something that old at our local flea. Either way, I am loving the apothecary look to it, and hubby is way into the Oddity show, and the old Victorian Curiosity Cabinets. I just LOVE treasure hunting!...now I have to throw out something to make room for it...
