Description

Quite heavy, tarnishing looks like silver. Swirl pattern is well etched into it. Sits flat on table with 1 3/4 in. round opening on top. On flat bottom has "082" stamped into it. Can barely make out four seams on the sides and a seam on the rim where it is joined but is all very finely finished. Have no clue what it is or how old it is or what it is worth.
