Brass vase?
Hello.
I have two of these both slightly different, 34cm tall & 24cm at the widest point. They don’t have solid bases but are made like tubes with three pieces of lead melted in the bases to give them some weight. I imagined they were for dried flowers & maybe Indian but that’s nothing more than a guess. Anyone know what they are? Thanks. |

Thanks Richard.
The opening at the top is 5”/125mm wide. The widest part 9-1\2” / 24cm. Despite searching the web I haven’t managed to find anything similar but realise I’m just missing a search word/term. I also realise these are a little out of the scope of this forum but thought I give it a try. |

Possible artillery shell trench arts that are missing the base plugs?

They could be spittoons where something is missing. These spittoons are common in areas where betel chewing was common.
See an example from a recent German auction. This would mean that you have presented them upside down.  Regards, Detlef Last edited by Sajen; Today at 12:28 PM. |
