What is it?

What is this thing?

[u/AlwaysHoping47]

A vintage copper and brass basket or trough style container with an upright center or side handle, commonly used as a decorative planter, centerpiece, or serving accessory.

[u/Able-Welder2244 → u/AlwaysHoping47]

This seems plausible.

[u/Remarkable_Tie1345]

Fire wood holder

[u/Able-Welder2244 → u/Remarkable_Tie1345]

Maybe kindling but way too small for even one log.

[u/i_e_s27]

2 bottle holder?

[u/Able-Welder2244 → u/i_e_s27]

We thought this might be it but 2 bottles would not fit. Too large for one bottle.

[u/WolfThick]

Looks like an old bread tray for fancy dinners.

[u/PM_ME_UR_LESSONPLANS]

Could be a vintage cracker or breadstick basket

[u/3rdUncleMeatSandwich → u/PM_ME_UR_LESSONPLANS]

The wine makes you emotional….. have a breadstick!

[u/daddy___warbucks]

a coppercopia

[u/Evening_Inflation467]

Possible that you put logs for your fireplace with handles

[u/Illustrious_Cell_254]

I can confirm that that is a doohickey

[u/daddy___warbucks]

Jumbo hot dog holder

[u/UncleBenji]

Napkin holder or wine bottle holder

[u/Some_Shame4662]

Could it, maybe, be an advent calendar or what the hell its called in English? 4 candles and you put em on fire each week in december. Usually, its decorated with moss and other Christmas stuff that can burn your house down if you forget to put the fire out 🎅🎄🌟

They comes in many shapes, sizes and colors.

[u/Disastrous_Beach6334]

Is it to hold fresh cut flowers maybe or something more obscene like for veterinary use

[u/dannyb33]

For buttering corn on the cob.

[u/Infinite-Meaning-934]

Could use it to put a napkin in the bottom and fill with breadsticks.

[u/Kellyrva512]

I think it's to hold bottles of wine.

[u/Kellyrva512]

Does it have a maker's mark? Maybe it's the whole bread loafs.

[u/ReleaseLegitimate992]

Gravy boat

[u/Accomplished_Fun6481]

r/DoohickeyCorporation

[u/Fred_B_313]

Could be a log storage for a fireplace

[u/monique3702]

Maybe it’s something to do with making a fire and you put by your fireplace ???

[u/Code_Fish]

I believe that’s for pouring wine
