Macguru, didn't mean to leave you hanging [ericsfunnypictures.com], but it's been a frustrating [ericsfunnypictures.com] week at my shop, I got distracted [funnyalbum.com] and didn't see your post [webmasterworld.com].
used in a ritual-no
something inside to make it work-yes

Sorry JonB, almost misssed this one, but as far as I know the decoration is not related to the use.
Your thermostat is used to set
Your thermometer is used to measure
I was thinking it was related to fertitilty, but I give up now.
Is, perchance, the bottom hollow? I mean, does it have actually a bottom? Or is placed over something else?
It has a bottom, it's a container, not placed over something else.
Since you inquired about the bottom of this vessel, it has a small penetration directly related to it's use.

How could the numbers be important if it isn't measuring something?
Maybe it's an early form of the 'terror alert status'? (3 meaning 'average'?) :)

Not sure how to answer this one, mivox. The numbers relate to something outside of this gizmo, but I guess the operation of this gizmo does use measurement in relation to the numbers on the stick? It's not a device used to measure something.
Does the stick pass through the bottom penetration or is only sitting in?
The stick does not pass through the bottom
make fire-no
stick attached to bottom-don't think so.
the stick is atttached to a float.
