    Sorry, I should have made it clear there are no bottoms, the mystery items are tubular though with a lip at one end, the top in the photo,

    though it may be upside down.

    There is a label stuck on saying "The Glass Shop".

    Weight is quite heavy for a lamp chimney, over a kilogram.

    It's one of those suction pumps for blokes without much endowment!

    It's just missing the pumper bit!

    Does the op know what they are? or just asking if we know what they are?

    for a guess id say put them around a growing cucumber to keep it growing straight. EU laws and stuff lol.

    Is it not something that goes around a candle. You have a bowl with that sand stuff in and in that you put a candle. This glass thing then goes into the sand enclosing the candle.

    A glass shade for a candle to distribute the light.

    No, I genuinely don't know what they are and would like to get rid of them, preferably according to purpose rather than just in the Council's bottle bank.

    They are a bit big for a cucumber, far too big for a man
    and a bit tall for a standard candle, being 4.5 inches across and 13 inches high.

    I did use them round a couple of strawberry plants but it was a job to make the two fit, so I don't think that is their purpose.

    Thank you for your interest and suggestions.
