This is a paired mythical set...a detailed brass gargoyle with a dragon themed ceramic ball!
The gargoyle most likely had a crackled glass vase in it's holder, I have paired it with the blue and white ball. It now has a little chinoiserie appeal along with the goth!
Both pieces are in very good vintage condition.
Gargoyle approx: 6.5"L x 5.5"W x 4.5"H (opening top: 4")
Ball approx: 4.25"diameter
