Found this at an estate sale. It’s like a bowl that’s 3/4 covered. I thought it might be a dried flower vase for a wall, but there’s no place on the back to hang it. No inventions for smokables. Anyone have any ideas what it is?

Thanks, like an hour or a bit more :D was a lot of fun though, learned a lot on a topic I have no reason to research. Unfortunately I saw your post while already laying on bed and ADHD kicked in with a promise of dopamine if I sacrificed some sleep

Embarrassingly the silver bullet was to cave in and do a Google reverse image search, found the 2 listings in like 5min lmao

Ha! I know exactly what you mean! That urge to find the info even when you don’t really care about the subject. Sucks you in. And then you have some great useless info. :) Well, it’s much appreciated and you definitely get the solve credit! 👊🏻
