Need help identifying this candle holder (?)

Hi, I recently inherited a rather large swath of antiques, and am having trouble identifying what this is. I know that it is brass and glass, with no particular mark of who manufactured it or when.

Any help would be appreciated

Looks cobbled together from bits and pieces for decorative value. I don't doubt that some parts have some age, but it just looks decorative, like from a home store, to me.

Is that a wooden cork above the top plate above the part where you think a candle could go? @Scorpius

 

No, they look/feel like they are either glazed ceramic or stone.

 

Thanks, please check back for the opinions of other members. I've just never seen pieces quite like this - in antiquity, but rather in decorative home shops.

 

Victorian era bird bath/feeder?????

 

Does it look like it could be fixed to a wall so it could dangle like a sconce?

 

Way too small, it’s only about 8” at its highest.

 

No, definitely meant to be set down on a surface

 

I can't tell for sure, but I think the glass is French Opaline and may have been part of a candle lighting device.
Don't know if the stand is original to it or not. It may be a marriage.

Here are examples of French Opaline. See what you think.

Thanks, Cluttered, I thought it was an old glass lampshade upside down!
