<p>[QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 4418053, member: 10944"]I thought this was a doorbell cover when I quickly grabbed it at an estate sale. It’s so bulbous I thought maybe hotel desk bell after looking at it more. Re-found it in a box today and realized there are no holes to mount it. So doorbell cover seems to be out. Could still be a desk bell I suppose. Not sure how they are typically constructed. Maybe a base to something? Center hole is threaded. Has an art nouveau-ish design. Heavy construction. 6” from petal tip to petal tip measured across bottom. No marks anywhere. What is it?
