What are these ?


After finding these in the shed yesterday I decided to do a spin off from SicilyScene.blogspot.com's " What is or where is this?"

I'll give you a hint...they are not for lighting. My Dad's had these for decades...and I mean decades... One is blue tinted and the other is green tinted both with lots of air bubbles.

Answer tomorrow.

I think they are wasp traps you put something sweet in the bowl bit and hang them from a tree or some place, then the wasps fly up in the little hole underneath and get trapped in the sticky goo....

I thought wasp traps, too. They're quite pretty, whatever they are.
