Bronze/Brass Oil Lamp Asia

Category
Lamps and Chandeliers
Description

This four-spouted oil lamp (suspected bronze) was obtained in 2012 in Southeast Asia. When purchased the metal was very dark and appeared white with tarnish, which I cleaned with a metal cleaning oil. There are no recognizable manufacturing markings. Feels heavy for its size, about 5 pounds. Appears to be a cat-like head where the oil is poured. Bird appears to be purched on the handle. Appears very old due to some pitting in the metal. Though the handle appears to have been cast in a mold, the slight irregularities in the spouts may suggest  hand-tempering. Despite my efforts I have been unable to get the metal to shine.

Condition
Poor
Description

This three-spouted oil lamp (suspected bronze) was obtained in 2010 in Southeast Asia. When purchased the metal was tarnished with a green tint, which I cleaned with a metal cleaning oil. There are no recognizable manufacturing markings. Feels heavy for its size, about 4-5 pounds. Appears to be a cat-like head where the oil is poured. Bird appears to be purched on the handle. Appears very old due to some pitting in the metal. Though the handle appears to have been cast in a mold, the slight irregularities in the spouts may suggest  hand-tempering.

Reed & Barton Silver Soldered (sugar dish?) 406 ??? 2P

Category
Silver and Silver Overlay
Condition
Good
Description

I found this item (which I am assuming is a sugar dish with a lid but missing the spoon, maybe used in a hotel after doing some research) in a box of items purchased at a yard sale. I can't quite find a match to this item anywhere online, only a few that look something like it. The mark on the bottom of the dish has been partially scratched off, making it nearly impossible for an amateur to figure it out! I'm just looking for a general price-range here, or if my find is even worth anything but a pretty add to my china cabinet!
