Is this a vase?

This is part of a shelf lot at an auction. There are 4 of these and another that's similar in form but different.

Google images has done nothing for me. It actually seems to be doing less and less lately when I need help identifying things.

I flipped the picture because I think it's some kind of vase that fits into something like a candelabra.

Any ideas? Thanks!

 

google image is more and more confused.....

 

I think you mean an 'epergne'?

Size matters.....

 

yes!

 

something like this maybe..

 

buy em , u can figure out what they are later..

 

About 6 or 7 inches tall. Best guess.

 

They're in a lot of lampshades, mostly chimneys. If they go cheap......

 

they look classy...and not new..!!

 

Thanks everyone! A search for epergnes still hasn't found anything but at least I know what they are now.

 

well then , not a bud vase......

but still...

I think @komokwa may be onto something. It could be a car vase. That came out of a limo or other larger car.
