While we’re on the subject of Victorian glass oddities …

… how about a covered glass mustard pot and spoon in the form of a bull sticking its tongue out? Manufactured by Atterbury & Co., ca. 1888, in the collections of the Chrysler Museum of Art, Norfolk, Virginia. 

The Reveal

The object from yesterday’s identify-the-item post is a bird seed box. Every well-appointed birdcage in well-to-do Victorian homes would have one. This piece, from the collections at the Chrysler Museum of Art, is attributed to the Boston & Sandwich Glass Company of Massachusetts, and was made between 1826 and 1888.

Thanks  to everyone who played along. Guesses included a perfume bottle or bottle stopper, a sconce, and a bottle for oils. The best guess submitted was from @brucespencer, who suggested it might be a laudanum bottle. One has to keep one’s stash somewhere.
