<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ascot, post: 347189, member: 96&quot;]I assume this is some type of religious communion object but I&#039;m stumped on age and how to describe. The grapes motif makes me think it&#039;s for wine. I don&#039;t know what the metal is--thought it was silver-plate when I bought it. It was black with grime when I got it (haven&#039;t finished cleaning/polishing as you can see), and polishing shows a rather dull silvery gold finish with gold around the base. Magnet does not stick. The interior of the bowl and lid has a gold wash in amazingly good shape considering how bad the exterior was. I can&#039;t find a mark anywhere. It&#039;s 8 1/4&quot; tall, base diameter is a hair under 4&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any help on age, origin, metal composition would be greatly appreciated!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/Ascot/fullsizeoutput_26ea_0001.jpeg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/Ascot/fullsizeoutput_26eb_0001.jpeg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/Ascot/fullsizeoutput_26ed_0001.jpeg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/Ascot/fullsizeoutput_26ee_0001.jpeg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/Ascot/fullsizeoutput_26f2.jpeg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
