Assuming a vintage honey pot and honey spoons/dippers?

    But I was thinking maybe a carved oil pot (looks like it might have had a handle a one stage) I have also seen examples of old flower pots that look similar.

    Or are they all honey related? Pot is 12cm tall,11cm wide on top and 12,5cm at the base. Dipper things are 23cm long.

    Thank you for any comments.

    The 2 rods are the inner part of a flying shuttle used on a weaving loom. It's called a prin which is a rod onto which thread is wound, used for weaving.

    Any idea as to the original function of the pot? I supposed it could have been used for various things.

    the rim has a consistent coat of grime around it , leading me to suspect that it had a lid...
