Denby Majolica but what's it for?

Found this in a charity shop yesterday. Denby Majolica but what for?? Some kind of stand for something? This is one for Denby Dump! Thanks in advance for suggestions.

Nobody has a definitive answer on these. They often turn up as a set.
Propping open sash windows, raising furniture off a damp floor?
Not quite right for candlesticks, too big for napkins, a stand would have a flat top.

One day someone will state the obvious, and we'll wonder why we never thought of that!

Thanks DD, I reckon a stand of some sort. I thought you would be a cert for the definitive answer......so I'm no nearer the truth! We'll see if any other suggestion turns up. Cheers!

A stand for some kind of rounded bottomed jardiniere?

Looks like a plate stand to me - to make your ordinary plate into more of a centrepiece raised platter.

All interesting stuff! I will have all these thoughts in my mind and try and decide what the real use is. I have to admit the window prop sounds very possible as it is a very heavily built item. It would be very difficult to break and would stand a fair old weight. (or maybe the furniture support?...or perhaps....).
