Purchased over 20 years ago at a French flea market. It did not have a lid from the beginning. I have been displaying it on a shelf, but I think it would also be cute as a single-flower vase. There are a few small scratches visible in the milk glass, but I believe this is due to the manufacturing process from several decades ago. I would be happy to pass it on to someone who appreciates it as a vintage item, including these imperfections.
