Found this little ornate piece at a farm site today. My guess is a candle top.

Is it threaded? Looks like part of a lamp. Maybe the top of a shade held on with a decorative nut!

Not threaded. But it looks like a burn or wax mark on the bottom side.

Man that candle wick would have to be like 3/4 of an inch long to poke thru that hole. I'm now thinking it's an ancient Chinese doll hat. lol

It looks like it may be a candle snuffer. The one on the right is similar to your photo.

I think that might be it, Mojjax. Thanks!
