A gorgeous hand blown cobalt blue glass hookah base from around the turn of the century. It features hand painted arabeque designs and not one but two portraits applied using transferware. This hookah base is a standard size for the time in which it was created and finding the appropriate hardware for it to be used as a functional hookah should be fairly easy. It can also be used as a flower vase or an accent piece in any home. This was found in Beirut's famed souk il ahad flea market.
