Ok I'm aware it's not antique but stop the pain.

I have tried everything except visit jewelry stores but what is this and I can't for the life of me figure out signature. So I ask you stop the pain.

 

3 1/2 inches at its widest part

 

I would guess it is an ashtray.

 

This one isn't fish (salmon) like you have, but. . .https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Ar...983078?hash=item364a5f23e6:g:5bkAAOSwna1Z2tDz

 

I knew I could count on you guys. You gotta admit would be hard to figure out on my own.

 

Most listings on eBay say 'cast aluminium'.

 

Candle holder, odds on. I wouldn't know Arthur Court if I tripped on him.

 

looks like a master salt to me, but with a 2005 date , i don't suppose i'm correct. Are salt dips still made?...Possibly a tartar sauce dish? Being fish themed and all........caviar?

 

Here is a link to the sea and shore collection by him. don't see your dish, but I now think it may be a coaster.

It could have possibly held a glass liner/cup/vase at some point?

 

LOL, you beat me to this!

Bingo Bdigger!

 

maybe with glass liner for votive candle

 

My 2 cents: could this be a wine coaster/holder?

 

It would depend on the diameter of the hole. Most coasters also don't have walls that high; they're generally flat or close to it.

 

I like the glass candle holder best. It is to small for a coaster. I was thinking paper clip holder the inside bottom is about 1 3/8 inches
