Ah Pear?

[Nana40]

That's what it looks like anyhow. But what would it have been used for? Looks like it's made of brass...pretty heavy....five inches tall and has a rounded hole in the bottom.
Thanks a bunch!
Nana

Just for fun, look up what "pears" were for in the medieval and inquisition times. You'll never look at a pear the same way
