They look like insulators for electric cable, hence the slit in the male threaded part and the hole at the front with the cap screwed down. What does the bottom look like?

Hi they are slightly conical,with a hole going through the centre,and very thick walled and can visualise cables fitting
Through.

I also wondered how big they are ie the diameter and height.

I think its a cable or wire joiner - possibly phone wires. You strip the insulation off the wire, lay the two bare ends in the groove and screw the cap down tight to make the join.
