There are some nautical-savvy people on here... Is this a fishing float? I found it in an antique shop for a really good price.
It looks like a float to me - the glass lid is fused so you cannot open it.. BUT it also has a flat bottom like a vase 🤔
Someone's expecting a REALLY high tide. 🤔

“Angular” - Hard to think of a creature or myth specifically related to angles or math, so just went with one of the oldest gods of intellect Ganesha
“Swollen” - The pudgy mythological snake in Japan, the Tsuchinoko, who also love to drink apparently
“Bottle” - Wanted to do more with the ocean and along with the prompt I get the image of glass fishing floats in my head. With that I just defaulted on drawin a sea nymph
“Scorched” - In Scandinavian folklore one of the spookier spirits/demons is the Myling, generally considered the ghost of an abandoned baby or murdered child that preys on passersby in a number of different ways depending on what country you’re in.
“Breakable” - As seen in Jason and the Argonauts the giant automaton Talus has a number of different roles in Greek mythology, primarily as a defender of Crete, but was also at one point interchangeable with Helios. In almost every myth though he primarily exists to be defeated.
