I found these along with that Qianlong blue and white plate together the other day. I think that these are really old knobs, but not positive.

Help us close this case. Add your knowledge below.

Might be to be used as decorative scroll weights for hanging those long narrow art paper paintings, which would help keep the paper flat against a wall.
