Early American (mid to late 1880s) cornucopia horn vase, historically used as an epergne insert or a hanging flower vase. These decorative glass horns served a few specific purposes:
• Epergne Insert: They were frequently nested into ornate metal or glass centerpieces (epergnes) to hold small floral arrangements on dining tables.
• Hanging/Wall Vase: Many variations feature small molded loops or notches near the rim or tip, allowing them to be threaded with a cord or wire and hung against a wall or mirror to hold cascading buds.
• Car/Hearse Vase: During the early automotive era (around the 1910s), these horn-shaped vases were suspended inside antique cars, limousines, or hearses as bud holders to keep the interior smelling fresh.
