Featured Please help, what is this?

Hey guys, I found this at a church bazar in Main USA. Does anybody know what it is? Or what it was used for?

 

No dimensions?

Toothpick holder?

 

Its about 7 inches tall, 5 inches diameter.

 

Id keep wrapped candies in it.

 

Fill it up................

 

Sure we can put whatever in it... I was hoping maybe someone knew what it was used for back in the day, its original purpose?

 

I think it's a candy jar.

 

It looks like it WAS/IS a candy/Storage Jar. (You might try Biscuit Jar too) No specific purpose, but to hold whatever you wanted to put in it. It's nice I like it.

 

It's only been up for an hour.....& it's Christmas eve......give it a day for more eyes to see it !

Oh....& any marks on the bottom....or lid ??

Oh.... & Merry Christmas !!!

 

it does remind me of a pickle castor ...without it's holder....

 

I thought a biscuit jar as well,its very nice!

 

Same here, from back in the days before cookie jars (to put it in American) got larger. It looks like a great way to display jelly beans or the like.

 

Biscuit jar, maybe. I'd fill it with shiny Christmas ornaments in the center of my table!!

 

I agree with the general consensus. it's for cookies or candy.

 

I am getting a modern vibe from this. Big box home décor from India?

 

Ooh, nice pic, Brad!!!

 

Ditto - cute picture

As for the item, can you show a picture of the bottom?

 

I was going to say Biscuit jar too.
Certainly would have many used for sweets and noshes.
