The CV6022 is a high voltage device the protection from x-ray leakage and the ceramic insulators point to this. It was also a hand made valve, as can be identified by the retaining collar on the glass stem leading to the top cap.

The style of construction points directly to a Thyratron.

The anode is contained within the shield cylinder and metal mesh.

The wide glass tube envelope is 60 mm in diameter and, excluding the special base pins, is 193 mm tall.
