What are carpet balls?

What are or rather what was the use of carpet balls? If your not sure what a carpet ball is here is a picture http://cgi.ebay.com/10-Blue-Wht-Chintz-Carpet-Balls-Porcelain_W0QQitemZ140166971083QQihZ004QQcategoryZ10034QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting. I have some and wanted more, but i wanted to know what the original purpose of them were and or how did they come about being called carpet balls?
They come in all sort of colors and sizes, i just can't seem to find any history on them.
I know now they are used mainly for decor... i'm wanting to know what they were used for originally.
lol i knew someone was going to say something crazy, thank you for the laugh.

Carpet balls. Used in the Victorian game of carpet bowls, made in brown stoneware or white earthenware coloured with starry, ringed, or flowery patterns. A set comprised six patterned and one white or self-coloured balls. Made in Scotland an Staffordshire. The Parr family of Burslem specialized in them. Properly called a "carpet bowl" for a game of carpet bowling, a variation of lawn bowling which is also related to bocce.Carpet balls were developed during the reign of Queen Victoria--1832-1901--as a form of outdoor bowls to be played in the parlor.
The game is currently experiencing a resurgence in Canada and GB.
