it is 5 inches by 3/4 inches, I thought it was plastic but it is glass. There are no marks, letters or anything like that to help tell what it is.

 Great Find at Avila Beach

Definitely looks like a flower frog for arranging flowers. I had one that was glass that I bought through "Princess House" - Interesting find.

 Flower Frog
by:

It's a flower frog. It probably once had a matching vase and your lid sat on top of the vase. It was used for flower arranging. The 'frog' held the flowers in place. Here is a link that talks about it:

 I Think

This looks to me like a flower frog, which they used to put in the bottom of bowls and vases to keep the flowers set upright. Cool find on a beach.

I seem to remember things like this being some kind of flower arranging accessory.
