This one cost me a pretty penny for something so small but I haven't seen another one like it. Also it was complete with it's silver plated stand. I spent sometime polishing that, even so if I was working in the big house as a servant in the day I probably would have got a thick ear for doing a slack job but you should have seen it beforehand! The J&Co hallmark seems to be for Joseph Jennings & Co of Birmingham 1867-1875 (courtesy of https://www.silvermakersmarks.co.uk/). The glass part I'm not sure. Total height is 111mm.
Wow, this is really special! Super fancy & unusual. And you've done a great job on getting that crimped edge silver looking sharp, too...
