He means like a handle..
Either that or the bottom of a pot.
That little knobby part makes more sence as a lug.
There is a finger impression in this piece.
Thanks GB on the answer. I have 3 of them but this is the nicest one as far as design. It doesnt look to be a base of a bowl so Id say its a handle. Its not broken at the top section so I thought it might be a small pot of sorts. Thanks, rock
