Antique Questions Forum / Re: old religous candle holder? Morter minus the pestle?

Sorry for the misleading pics.  Some pieces of it are worn, or broken off, but it itself is not a broken off piece of something.  If I was a betting man, I would say it is a candle holder.  Does not appear to have any wax residue.... however, it looks old as dirt so that could be expected. 

I have not washed it or done anything to it other than hold it briefly and take those pics. 


Lets just say for shicks and giggles it is a religious candle holder....  how old do you think we are talking?

Antique Questions Forum / old religous candle holder? Morter minus the pestle?

Hi, new member...  

I acquired this from a box of "stuff" that belonged to my grandmother, that no one else wanted.

I know it is probably worthless, but I'm more so curious about how old it is, and its origin.

It is clearly religious. It has a maltese cross on the top, and either a Patriarchal Cross or Cross of Lorraine on the bottom(from what i have researched).

Any ideas greatly appreciated!
