Featured Tri-Candlestick old or made to look old?

Purchased from the same auction as my prints posted early. I have yet to find out what it is made from. It is very heavy. Love the look but can not find anything similar. Type of flower?

Small hole on bottom leads me to thinking ceramic. You’ll see places where the finish is missing, but not sure yet if it was intentional. What’s your thoughts?

Artichokes, but that's all I've got.

 

Ditto.
I love artichokes, btw.

 

Yeah, I was kind of thinking artichokes too with two tulips on the side

 

That's pretty new. I remember it being in one of the catalogs I had a distributorship for when I was doing interior decorating.

 

thanks, I was kinda leaning in that direction, hence my title. Was still worth the bid for me. She has her character
