Glass Sugar Dispenser. It’s only retro, not vintage. Although I did buy it second-hand.
It’s a prop from a project I never fully realized, circa 2003.
When do you declare a project dead? Is it the amount of time it’s been laying around unfinished, the degree of enthusiasm you feel for it, or some other marker that measures its viability in the present.
Of course, I don’t know the answer to that, it being in one sense, the whole quest of this obsolescence project.

Obsolescence Project 
Love the light in the first picture.
As to ‘when do you declare a project dead? Is it the amount of time it’s been laying around unfinished, the degree of enthusiasm you feel for it, or some other marker that measures its viability in the present’, I think for me maybe it’s never. But then I also never quite get round to finishing the half-worked ideas. I suspect I do need to learn to declare things dead.
“Maybe it’s never” Ha! That might be true for me too, but hopefully this project is helping me get rid of the little bits and parts (that could be re-acquired if need be) of said undone projects.
fill it with chilli flakes and give it a new reason detre. that’s what i call repurposing!
I hadn’t thought of re-purposing. good idea:)
