-Welcome to the net, this is the best place to get any answers- but first we will have questions-- is it hollow? can we see more angles and views of the object in hand, and perhaps the location of find.
But, sure, could be a candle holder, if hollow, it might have been an oil lamp. you'll get the answers, or a real good guess soon enough---- da Prof

Hi, thankyou for the welcome! It is hollow with a hole in the wider 'top' and the pointed bottom is solid. Will post another pic in a couple of hours.

[octavianvs]

another picture!

I'm leaning towards a finial of some type? Does it look like there was another "loop or handle" on the other side that may have broken off? Also, can you tell if the hole had threads in it?

[octavianvs]

yes it looks like there should be a handle the other side.
cant she a thread though!

How about it's a posy holder for use on grave : hence the pointed end.? Hutch.

Turning up late referring to what?

Late to those wars we had to go over and finish up . . . this from a guy who digs holes in our largest aircraft carrier . . . the U.S.S. Britiania




Great ID on the toy pitcher.
