Way too beautiful a piece to make usage of with a cigarrete. Please have a good new month and a nice weekend as well.

I agree with Robert.
That's a decorative ashtray.
It sure is beautiful, VP.
It is beautifully crafted as is the door adjacent.

Wow! Wonderful VP!
Amazing---cough cough!! MB
Brass has a wonderful texture. It is not a true metal is it? I think it is some sort of composite of two true metals. I have no idea, but I do like this mystery object.
It's still beautiful, even without the rope.
How fascinating and beautiful. I'd not have guessed what it was. Great choice for today.
Well done, VP!
Too nice to be used as an ashtray!!!
I always admire this kind of work. No such things produced nowadays.
Okay... I was first thinking holy water holder. But it also makes an attractive ash holder!
I found this theme day rather difficult. Your choice was a good one. :)
facsinating to see so much detail devoted to this habit. it is a piece of art though. interesting to learn what it is used for.
I had to click VP, didn't recognise it without the rope haha! I seriously hope they don't still use it as an ashtray, it's way too beautiful for that purpose!!
So elaborate and so beautiful!
Sì, la Vespucci! Beato te che l'hai vista, buona domenica! Arianna
I guess it holds water outside a church for worship goers to mark the sign of the cross with water on their forehead....
Beautiful object, thanks for the link :)
I forgot about this detail but I surely remember the post because I really enjoyed it.
