<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 108205, member: 54"]It was made as a vase and once had a separate thin metal disc as the bottom surface but that's obviously missing. It was made too thin-walled thus the holes. I'm guessing holes are casting defect? Is so thin-walled it could be that "they" made it by expanding brass tubing into a mold. Don't really know on this, never saw anything like it so don't think I'm any kind of expert.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
