Another item that I found in my mothers home after she passed. I really don't know much about it but I think from the markings on the bottom it was made in 1883. Its a really cool piece, can anyone tell me anything about it?
Superb piece!
Right for 1883, Gorham aesthetic period, Japanesque inspiration for the style, see This one:

Can I just add in the term "Mixed Metals" ?
Please don't try and clean it at all !!!!
Leave it as it is !!!
VERY BEAUTIFUL ITEM !!!!
Originally meant to hold cigarettes is a suggestion I saw here:

Another suggestion is a tooth pick holder :
