Viddles is a slang term for food. Often times people would use what they had to create useful items - a way to "make do" with what they had. Many bowls of any sort were used for whatever need arose. Hand hammered bowls were often found created to hold candlesticks when the bowl had been worn and would no longer hold liquids. This black metal replica helps us to appreciate our history. 9"x8"x6.5" Snuffer included. Candle is not included.
