Sorry guys, I haven't had much time to really delve into subjects these last few weeks. Searcher, I think the parallel with these vessels you propose is plausible. At least, it seems plausible that a vessel of this type, a chalice with an ornate lid, is present in the MS.
Now if you look at your examples from an ergonomic point of view, it's clear that their base has been designed to be held in one hand, like a grip.
But if you look back at the composite image I made in the first post of this thread, with this in mind, a different picture emerges. The inset vessels from the small plants look like they could be handled this way. But only one of the towers does. The others have a much thicker base.
I wonder if this might be another case of visual synthesis, an artificial layering of meaning. Towers and vessels.
