    Part of some old brass furniture or decoration perhaps? I really have no idea. About 5" across, 2 1/2" high in the middle. The hole in the middle is 2 1/2" across. Not attracted to rare earth magnet. Any ideas on how old / where from / what is/was it? Thanks!

    Funny it's a different design on each side, if I'm seeing right. Hmmmm

    I immediately thought part of a lamp, maybe even a porcelain vase turned into a lamp!
