Ink well? Door handle?

[pro303]

Not sure what it is. Any ideas? Also found a piece of glass that could possibly hold a wick. Maybe a lamp? I don't think it's a door handle, it's too light and has no way to attach.

Oil lamp.

It could be an oil lamp. Or part of one. But it sure looks like a door knob to me.

Not sure on the pottery, but the glass looks like a crack pipe.... you may want to toss that.

What material is the little vessel?

 

[pro303]

It came up as brass on the detector. It was about 4-5 inches down. Prob not a crack pipe though, i mowed a spot on my farm that hasn't seen foot traffic in 15 years and decided to detect it.
