1. Does that upper section act like a weird lid?
2. Do the two lower sections separate?
The lower part is the wrong shape to turn it into a solar cooker - it looks like the curve is backwards from what you'd need!
If it was *just* the lower section, I'd say it was the base for a glass table, but then it wouldn't have that separate upper section.
From the surroundings, I'd say it's about 18" across - do you agree?

Looks like it may have been a base for a patio umbrella. Neat thing! I like it :D

He would tell everyone about his weird looking stool sample. "Wanna see it?"
The TP hides it when he goes to pull it out of the container and set it on the counter,
While everyone is telling him not to put it on the kitchen counter (or pool table in my case) gasping and grossing out.
No stopping him, the more drama the better.
Followed by relief and that "oh you got" me laughter.
