We found this over at Uncommon Goods, and we'd love to see it in use, full of colorful fish. The two-handled shape reminds us of a Victorian punchbowl, and it in fact could be used as one, or as a vase, or for storage.
Glass Fishbowl Made of Recycled Windshields
In fact, we're not quite sure why Uncommon Goods landed on fishbowl as its first use. The glass is slightly greenish (from the anti-glare treatment for its original function) and just under a foot tall and wide. $65 here.

I'd hate to see this with fish in, save MAYBE a single betta. Bowls like this and traditional "goldfish bowls" are death-traps for fish. Toxins build up far too quickly, temperature cannot be safely regulated, and the size simply is unfit for most fish.
It would make a lovely gardenia bowl or flower vase.
