    Better nomenclature above, @Jose Garcia. A Google Lens search brings up lots of similars. The shape is based on Greek pottery as you can see below.

    The kantharos shape dates from the 8th century BCE onwards. Yours is more likely 20th or 21st. Someone else will know better than I.

    Hard saying age as this is a classical form, reproduced for ages. The square nut on the bottom does indicate some age. Think at least first half of the 20th century but could even be 19th century.

    Do you think it could be polished?

    I wouldn't polish this.

    It wasn't meant to be polished.
