  Do you think show pieces in rich households would be used? I’d argue if they did, someone was getting fired immediately.

    Have we found any other shows pieces for other household items? Because if not, it’s very unlikely that’s the case

      Yes, all the time. Like silverware, ornamental swords/weapons like axes, jewelry.

  I’ve seen many vases and other such vessels in the homes of rich people that are not used to store liquids, but instead sit there empty on a console table in the hallway!

    In that case this isn't a tool, it's a decoration. And if none of them are worn, then the decoration isn't imitating a knitting tool, since some would show wear if that were its actual use.
