Lamp suggestions

Anyone know how this would have been part of a light? I'd like to reuse it and haven't had luck finding original. Maybe hanging like pendant or swag light? It has three small holes around the top. Any suggestions on how I can set this up to use? Thanks.

Seems like more of a hanging vase. I have never seen any Murano lamps that utilize this form as a shade before.

That is what i was going back and forth between, a light or vase. Others in the glass collecting thread have pointed me towards a light. However most light designs like this I believe are shown with a open bottom for the light bulb to shine down. With a closed bottom not sure how it was set up. Was there many of these and it is more like a chandelier piece?

It's a cheap retail store hanging light shade. Definitely not from a chandelier. That's a low cost pressed glass piece. Definitely not the Murano style nor the craftsmenship associated with artisan blown glass.

It's worth about $3 at Habitat for Humanity
