Cynthia E on Jan 15, 2014They look like the test tube style bud vase holders, if you don't want to use them like that saw a post where close to this they added a clip at top to use as a picture holder, or could hold recipe cards. GL show us what you did with them here when done.Helpful Reply

Sherry Knott on Jan 17, 2014I believe it could be a bud vase holder but I had two of these in black that held bud vase shaped glass tiki torches that I used on my tables by my pool. When we were hit by a tornado, the glass torches were broken, but I retained the "stands/holders". My plan is to re-purpose into a sun/windcatcher by turning upside down and make it "hang-able (yeah, I make up my own words when I can't think of the right ones lol) hanging beads, trinkets, whatever hits me from the coils. Also thinking of gluing some kind of pot to the very top once upside down, to hold a plant. I have an art business where I re-purpose and re-imagine things. Just an idea for you!Helpful Reply

Lisa Geary on Jan 17, 2014They kind of look like "courting" candle holders. Once the candle burned down to the top ring of metal, the boy was supposed to leave the girls' home!Helpful Reply

Carolle on Jan 17, 2014They kind of look like flower stakes. You wind them around flowers to keep them upright (or you could use them on the grill for beer can chicken). LolHelpful Reply

Mary VonJess on Jan 17, 2014I believe they are candle holders, as well. I think you could mount on a block of wood and then hang near the top of a window frame and wrap sheer fabric around the coils and drape between...as a drapery accessory.Helpful Reply

Diane Slater on Jan 17, 2014They are candle holders. I had a set, but your missing the glass holders. They look something like test tubes. You filled the test tubes with water, and put in tapers to float in the water. But the glass was so fragile that they broke quickly, leaving you with this spiral metal thing. There not antiques either, a non expensive itemHelpful Reply

Sherry Knott on Jan 17, 2014Let me add that I am going to add glass beading hanging from the spirals to make it really glisten in the sun. You may want to consider that also. Whenever I get one completed, I will upload the photo to you. :-)Helpful Reply

Raechel At Eve Isle Studios on Jan 17, 2014Thank you all for your answers and ideas. I do believe they are bud vases that used to have glass test tube style inserts. I'm still not 100% sure what I want to do with them but I'm definitely thankful for all the ideas!Helpful Reply

Diane Slater on Jan 17, 2014Oh, sure, I thought they were cool and different. One of my clients gave them to me for Christmas one year. I'm a hairstylist. The glass part was shaped with the test tube bottom, but a bowl shape on top of the "spring". I tried to find replacement glass for them but never had any luck. Good luck, if you're looking for the glass. But, I'll keep checking to see what you have decided to do with them.Helpful Reply

Felicity Woodruffe on Jan 20, 2014thank you these are so easy to make just get some thick strong wire, maybe copper, wind it around something like a rolling pin until you have the correct size.use pliers to form a loop at the end to hang something decorative from and then add balls baubles or glass spheres inside the twists and hang them up :)Helpful Reply
