I found this at a shop in Fancy Gap, Virginia that specializes in crafts
by local artists. The artisan here finds vintage glass and glues it into
functional pieces. I'm starting it off as a feeder, but it may make a better
birdbath as there are no drainage holes.

It is about a foot and a 1/2.

The piece was $37 USA. Considering the quality of the various glass
pieces, I thought it underpriced. I told the proprietor so. She said it was
their latest artist and that they were trying out her pieces. There was this
and two other glass pieces which were just ornamental, with no function.
Both also had cobalt blue glass, as well, and my eye was drawn to them.

I'd be worried about a glass bird feeder. It's gorgeous but squirrels and
other critters tend to knock over bird feeders. One made of glass wouldn't
last long where I live.

I'm now using it as a birdbath. It is where if it were to be knocked
over, it would likely survive.
