Adam Clarke's Commentary
Verse 19 Concerning the pillars - Two brazen columns placed by Solomon in the pronaos or portico of the temple, eighteen cubits high, and twelve in circumference, 1Kgs 7:16-22; Jer 52:11. The sea - The brazen sea, ten cubits in diameter, and thirty in circumference. It contained water for different washings in the Divine worship, and was supported on twelve brazen oxen. Perhaps these are what are called the bases here. See the parallel places at 2Kgs 25:13 (note), etc.; Jer 52:17 (note), Jer 52:20-21 (note), and the notes on them.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on Jeremiah 27:19-22
Jeremiah assures them that the brazen vessels should go after the golden ones. All shall be carried to Babylon. But he concludes with a gracious promise, that the time would come when they should be brought back. Though the return of the prosperity of the church does not come in our time, we must not despair, for it will come in God's time.
