You haven't indicated the size of these pieces.

Are there three or four hooks/clasps around the "base" of each one? If
they
were for chains to hang them somewhere I would only expect three. Trouble
is, if there were chains hanging from a common point above the centre of
the piece they would surely foul the "mouth".

Is the protuberance visible back left of the right-hand piece, some kind
of
spout or nozzie whereby the base may be filled with some liquid? (Are they
oil lamps missing the metal fitting containing and controlling the wick?)


I also sent your questions to the owner, I'll let you know when I hear back
from him.
