OK, I Give

What in the heck is this???  When I bought it (from GW), I thought it was an old juice glass rack, but i googled and googled and I don't think there is any such thing.  If there is, it sure doesn't look like this.  Lately, I'm thinking maybe it's a votive holder.  I have no idea.  Anyone care to take a guess?

In person, it doesn't look black.  It looks rusted.


And while I have you here, what are these?  I found something online about a fruit bowl or something, but what are they called?  A pedestal bowl??

  1. Is it an egg holder? It's hard to tell fromthe picture how large the holes are but that would be my guess!

  2. Spice rack is a good guess. My grandfather used to have something similar for decorative shot glasses.

  10. I had one exactly like that a long time a go and it had votive holders in it, it was a candle holder. Looks the same to me!! I used mine for parties and put cupcake toppings on it once, once I used it as a centerpiece....what are you gonna do with it?

  11. I'm pretty sure it's an egg holder. I just bought one today at a garage sale. The only reason I knew what it was was because it had a tag on it telling me! Super funl.

  16. I have to say I had a similar item and put apples or pears in it. Now they do sell something like it for cupcakes.

  17. looks like you got a lot of great guesses already...

    i am jumping on the cupcake holder guess. there are 12 slots...which equal a dozen cupcakes. but my concern...will the cupcakes fall through?

  19. I think its a cupcake holder (if the holes are small enough) or I have one that is made for condiments to hold little bowls.

  20. It's a votive holder. It holds the glass oyster votives. You can buy the stand at Joann's. They also sell the glass oyster votives there too.

  21. i got one just like that from a rummage sale that i thought it would be perfect as a cupcake holder but the holes were too big! i use mine as an earring holder now!

  22. The wrought iron item is an apple stacker from the 90's. They were very popular for us 'country boo-tique girls. :) My grandmother used the wooden pedestal thingy's to hold her wooden fruit. :)

  23. The pedestal bowls are called compotes :)

  24. It is a cupcake holder but I use it for apples and tomatoes. It keeps the tomatoes from rotting on the bottoms!

  25. I remember seeing holders like that with apples, especially wooden apples. I think some of the other guesses could be accomplished with some modifications. I am on the lookout for a wooden compote, but I will paint it and chippy it up.
