The little holes in the top might just be part of the decoration, or if uniform might have held something --any sign of wear inside those holes? If they were meant to hold something that would be a clue. Under the base there almost looks like there is a 5th point where the dish or tray balances, or is that a handle or something? Looking straight down can't make out exactly what this is. I assume there are no marks on any [I]edges[/I] of the feet? It is an intriguing piece, but I haven't seen similar so can't help with the maker, but do like it a lot![/QUOTE]
