Tell me what I bought; please.

I bought these as decor from the Goodwill. They matched a couple of lamps that I bought from Ikea, so I am very happy with my find as is, but I can't help but to wonder if they were created with some kind of function like candle holder, vase, etc. I tried googling their description, but could not find them. If anyone out there knows what they definitively are that would be a great help! Thanks!

    Candle hol for pillar candles

    I agree that they look like candle holders. I think they'd look incredible with some small trailing plants in them... like fizzy champagne flutes!

    They are probably a "design element" to suit a particular type of decor ... You could use them as pendant lights... if you put in a light kit...they could be rather interesting in a bathroom... or office... or you could put a pillar type candle in the top (but only if they do not have a tendency to tip over easily)

    I think they are meant to be just decorative items....very cool!

    From your pictures (thanks for sending), I am having difficulty determining just how big they are. Could you please resubmit with dimensions?

      Thanks for the update info on their dimensions, if they were much taller, I would have come up with a female form of somekind, since they are in inches rather than feet, I am baffled.

    I've seen similar, but larger, used as room decor with an architectural arrangement of dried grasses in them

    yes I agree they were meant to hold candles but could hold a lot of things!

    I’ve seen these before just used as decoration for a mantle. Be careful using them as candle holders as they could topple over, inless you don’t plan to light them.

    Hi,

    My guess is a pair of interesting ornaments (Talking point)? or maybe Plant trellis.
