Long Description
I've done some reasearch on this object myself but IÂ can't figure out what it's used for! So far IÂ know it's from 1862 judging by the letter hallmark on the bottom, it's also from Sheffield in England manufactured by James Dixon and Sons. It's sterling 925. IÂ have a feeling I'm missing a piece to this- maybe a glass dish that goes in the top?
