Metal and glass acorns?

[thedukeofdelaware]

I found a second "glass acorn" tonight...top half is metallic and the whole thing is glass. 0.97 inch diameter across the top metallic part. If this is junk, i dont want to know. If its a car part dont tell me, and ill hold onto the allure of my mysterious glass acorns. Thanks for looking!

A company named "Libbey" seems to have made a lot of these.
