The first picture is on the base. The second picture is laying down, and the thrid is upside down off the base.

Much better !! Looks like it was just a decorative finial !! Don`t see that it was ever attached to anything !!

There's a base that comes with it. It sits on top of wood I took it off. It was loose when I got it.

 This should help you a bit !! Why do you think this finial is Dorflinger when they did mostly cut glass ?? Or did I misread the post ??

You must not have looked at my shortcut. It's in the catologue. I wasn't looking for it I just happen to stumble upon it.

That was a Dorfinger catalogue. What do you mean by cuts?

Your link says that the one that looked like yours had cuts at the bottom !! Are you sure it was their catalogue,, I could not find one that could be read online !! And looked everywhere and could not find another example of Dorflinger Finials !!  The Dorflinger website gave a list of companies that bought blanks from Dorflinger to cut their own design !!

Go go to the home page. The American Cut Glass Assoc. seem to think it was right!
