A gorgeous antique French hand blown glass fly catcher.

A larger and more rounded shaped fly catcher than those you normally come across, it stands on three feet. The glass has been cut smoothly at the neck, from where it was hand blown. It dates to the 19th Century.

Still a functional piece, the original cork stopper is missing but could be easily replaced. Sweet liquid can put in the base rim to attract pests like flies and wasps, and it can be hung from a tree to lure them away from other outside areas. Alternatively, it's such a beautiful decorative item for the home. It would look stunning with a pillar candle through the middle.

In very good condition, there are some air bubbles to the glass in places. There is also a small build up of limescale around the base (which has been difficult to capture in the photographs) but this doesn't overly detract. 

Height, 16cm; Diameter, 15cm
