Sterling Silver 2" container (looks like a trophy)

Appraisal complete
Description

Hello,  This item is two inches tall with the word sterling on the bottom of the outside rim.  The hallmark or signature is on the inside of the base but is not clear to me.  I am curious what this was used for and if anyone can identify its use.  I greatly appreciate the feedback at instappraisal.

Category Silver and Silver Overlay
Medium sterling silver
Distinguishing marks I cannot read or identify the marks.
Condition Good
Size and dimensions of this item 2"
Date Period 19th century
Weight 2 grams
History This like my previous request came from my great grandparents home in Westchester County, N.Y. Some items from their home date back to previous generations, so I am guessing it may be mid 19th century. Thank you.
