Fun miniature hand blown glass whimsy. Likely a product of an early 19C glasshouse.  Applied handle. Tooled lip. Sharp open pontil on base. Fantastic rich plum amethyst color. Heavy base wear indicates many years of use – possibly used as an open salt holder on the table, or perhaps in a doll house. Great warped top adds character to this amazing little survivor.
