Please help identify

God, now I am stuck, I did not know cheese balls would have the variety of
sizes and people would bother with them that much, so I do concede the
possiblility

m...
ever see one of those big cheese balls at a party or around the
holiday season??? my mom used to cover them in these types of dishes.
I wouldn't call her a cheese fanatic but what else would you cover a
big ball of cheese in and still be able to see it? they have lots of
different sized cheese balls so i would assume that would account for
the various sizes. I have even seen cheese logs covered with what
would look like an oversized butter tray if it didn't have cheese
stuck in it. i am going with cheese cover too. just my 2 cents.

No, you are right I am not getting the answer because, unless I am
missing
something besides some cerebral matter, I can't imagine them to be
cheese
covers unless someone was a cheese fanatic. I did get a couple ideas,
one
person thought they could be small plant covers---they 9Tthe glass) come
from a farming community and another thought they could be candy dish
covers
which makes some sense. As for chinese sex, someone came up with that
too,
but I think the great chairman discarded the devices after he in spoke
in
falsetto.

Glass goes beyond color, there is something that likes glass whether we
know
it or not, we can see through it, bend images, drink from it, make
pictures
and even have a glass of beer; and I vote that everyone, even the one's
who
are put off by my innocent inquirey, go to the cabinet, pick up a glass,
pour some beer gently into it, watch the bubbles and enjoy the life that
only glass can bring. Bottoms up!

Though your response is obtuse, who cares, and parsing sentences is
a
useless excercise--and I am usnure of the handles part except they
have
a
stem, so what the heck are they? I mentioned the attic part to
imply
that
I
think they are old ie prior to 1930. I don't really know
though---so
just
help with the solution why don't ya?

WHY? You have already been told too many times and your not getting
the
answer you want...

OK, they are extremely rare sexual devices with an ancient use by
people
with millions of dollars that will pay millions for them. Is that
more to
your liking? Get out there and auction them off, put a really high
reserve
on them and then when someone tells you they are cheap cheese dish
covers
you act surprised.

As I will be if they sell..

Could you recommend one?

This newsgroup is about working with glass - stained glass, fusing etc...
We don't collect manufactured glass. So our guessing is as good as yours.
You made need to find a glass collectors book to find out for sure what
they
are.

Can anyone identify what these are?

Glass domes with handles?

We found them in my family's attic in the case thats behind them.

Doesn't change the obvious, still glass domes with handles

There are 6 glasses in all. Is there any value to them?

Nope, none for an Oxy Moron, thow them out.

Does that do anything for the etiquette? Usenet less frequently, and
only
when YOU want something.

I posted this on Oct 24 but it didn't get through.

Right on top of the vacuum plate. The $4.99 ball winds up the size of an
egg.

Looks like you can use bell jars for plant covers. I was looking at
this website http://www.jamestownglasshouse.com/Reproduction2.asp and
the third item down is a replicate of a bell jar. it says:

"Bell jars, also called "cucumber" or "melon" glasses were used in the
18th century in both Europe and America by gardeners to protect
delicate plants from the cold. English horticulturist, Sir Thomas
Hanmer first documented their uses in 1659. Most were made of the same
dark green glass that was used for wine bottles. Stands 9-3/4" high"

I thought that was weird.

What was weird? Using green glass for something other than holding wine?
That *is* weird.

wouldn't the green block the UV light in a specific spectrum? m

Yep, that's why I think it would be wierd but maybe they want that
portion blocked. Who knows.
