Ice cream cones and croissants are all variations on horn shapes- cornet is just a little horn-you can play one if you're so inclined.

Getting back to gondolas, or at least period tat, my bottle based table lamp is an interestingly shaped wide bottomed long necked one that held Yugoslavian brandy in the mid '80s. With some pea shingle added it's a very stable base too.
