Description

I've done some reasearch on this object myself but I can't figure out what it's used for! So far I 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. I have a feeling I'm missing a piece to this- maybe a glass dish that goes in the top?
