im not  completely sure, but they look like a pair of tongs that might be used in a foundry or somthing of that nature. they could also be used for blacksmithing, but my guess would be a foundry. i used to use something similar to this in a forge i once worked in

This is a beautiful jar in what i believe to be in great condition, it has some crazing on it but nothing that takes from the beauty of this jar. It has an all white body with 3 black dots down the front pockets are lined with black, the top of the jar has blushing cheeks the ears are lined black with pink inside the eyes are black with blue lining with 3 lashes above each eye. there are no chips or cracks on glass or paint. I have not been able to find anything on this piece online, and am really curious about what it might be worth. i understand that with out a pic that it is hard to judge i tried to load 1 but the file size was to big. with a little luck someone on here will be able to help me, from the lack of info online this piece might be rare
