Glass conical vase found beside the recycling bins in Dolphin's Barn this morning. Pictured here containing 2l of water. Must have saved me 20 odd quid!  :)
(as long as the bottom isn't too thick...)

Looks like a wine decanter, and looks like there's a few cracks on it but you could maybe sand them off?

The lip is slightly chipped, but there don't appear to be any cracks.
