I believe this is considered a fly trap. Sugared water draws them in and they drown before they get out. Common in the mid-19th century. Then again, I could be wrong.
It certainly looks like one of those, I agree, other than it has a cork?Someone gave me one a few years ago but I never put sugar water in cos I felt sorry for the wasps - well wasps in my case ...

Just me being stupid. Of course the wasps fly in from underneath.
love the focus in this.
Yes it does look like a wasp trap to me. Much nicer than the plastic versions I've seen elsewhere.
