Small wooden object-tool?

Hi all,I thought this was interesting. It looks and feels antique (well to me) It obviously looks like a unfinished wine goblet. But it looks used and well handled (there’s grime/dirt built-up where it was held) Maybe some kind tool or press /stamp object or something? It’s solid wood and stands 12cm tall and is between 6,5- to about 7cm
wide at the ends.

So maybe is was supposed to be goblet before someone started using it for something else? Thank you and keep well

 

Thank you for the reply. Could possibly be. I was also looking at that previous but decided it should have been more rounded?

 

It looks like a stone carver's mallet to me.

 

Thanks for commenting. Maybe,I will search accordingly. Not sure about the handle part? Does it possibly look antique to you?

 

Yes it does. There is nice wear, and the dark colour is from handling it for a long time.

 

Not the same, but you get an idea of what I mean. Mind you, I could be wrong, but the shape of the mallet part and the size are right.

Thanks

 

Well you might also be very right. I can certainly see what you mean. In part is does look the same.. Thank you also for the link.

 

It might be a pattern for a metal goblet, used in a sand casting technique.
Pewter objects have been made using sand casting.

 

Very interesting comment
and possibility. Many thanks for that. Will see what I can find.
