Fly catcher
Hand blown glass fly catcher in the shape of a bottle. Base of bowl is open to create well. Three glass feet applied to base and moulded glass stopper (not original to the bottle). This would work by placing a sugar solution in the bottom of the trap. The insects flew in through the bottom and then drowned in the solution.
