I bought this at a charity shop, but I've no idea what it is... Any ideas?

I love this odd object. It is metal and the leaves are vine leaves. I wondered if anyone might now what it is?

Umbrella stand?

Candle holder? Just put a candle on the black flat plate.

Is it a jewellery holder?

The plate at the bottom for rings and earrings and necklaces etc hung off the branches?

It's very nice I am jealous.

For keys maybe?

Holding grapes?

Wine bottle holder for pouring wine?

Grape displayer, tray at the bottom flrmuts or cubes of cheese?

Bottle holder?

I think it's a bird feeder. You put water in the leaf dish and hand a net of nuts from the top bit.

Can you push bathe bottom into the ground? We had one at work.

It is too small to be an umbrella stand. I don't think it is for jewellery because the top section looks like it might hold a glass dish of sorts. The flat section at the bottom is a bit bigger than a side plate.

Pusheenicorn, I love it 😍

How big?

I think you've got it the wrong way round. It shouid be horizontal with a (red) wine bottle in it for pouring. I've seen them quite a lot in middle Europe.

i used to have one, there should be a glass teardrop in the top ring that you can fill with water/wine/juice

it had an "optic type" thing in the bottom to dispense your drink.

Garden ornament with bird bath at bottom?

You put a spot of water in the shallow bowl and fairies can come and bathe in it in the moonlight, so you really do need to have it outside,OP (smiles and nods knowledgeably)

I cannot see how a bottle could fit in there.

Yes, the bottom has legs on it that may well push into the ground. LynetteScavo, I've not seen bird feeders on the ground?

I had something similar the top bit looks like a delight holder that's missing the little glass that the twilight would go in. Not sure about the bottom bit.

It’s a wine dispenser. The glass wine dispenser should sit in it like an upside down drop of water. You press your glass to the bottom and the wine is dispensed. My parents had one in the 1980s. You can find complete sets on eBay or Etsy.

Id go with wine bottle holder given that the decoration is vine leaves.

Candle holder. Round candle in the top and a pillar candle in the bottom. I had one except it had a glass votive type thing in the top and didn't have a solid base.

is it the end of a curtain rail, or to hold curtains back?

Looks like a bird feeder to me.

A conversation piece anyway !
