We all have odd collections of things we find. I collect stone spheres and the hose nozzles that I've found. I use to run estate sales and at one of them this item caught my attention.... I have no idea what it is or what it was used for. It is completely ceramic and has a small hole on one end. I thought maybe part of a weather vane but the hole is too small....same for a bannister. Any ideas?

P.S. all the nozzles are unique, no two are the same with the exception of the two 6" ones on the right side..

As for the holes in your shere, If it was made on a lathe it would be held on both sides but you say it is ceramic and that would also need holes for when it was fired to let gas escape or else it would shatter during the firing process. It could simply be just a decorative piece for display just like you have it.
