I love the rarely seen taller shape of this gorgeous antique French hand blown glass fly catcher.

With a longer neck than those you normally come across, it stands on three glass feet. The glass has been cut quite roughly 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.

In excellent condition, there are some light is a small crack to the outside of the glass at the base. But this doesn't penetrate through and the whole piece is very stable. There are also some surface ripples to the glass from the time of production, although these add an authentic timeworn look to the piece. 

Height, 21.5cm; Diameter, 14cm
