H, Thtagg. :-)
Pretty cool.
I found some similar ones on the Net using Google Lens, except those had a cover and spoon for the central compartment, describing it variously as being for condiments, mustard, sugar, etc.:

This one doesn't have a cover for the central compartment, but I have to wonder whether it might have had one originally:

Thtagg, it it against the rules of this site to offer items for sale, exchange, barter, etc. Clicking on your avatar to bring up your "about me" pages shows that is what you are doing. To get an appraisal on items, there is an Appraisal link at the top of the page. Keramikos probably did not look at your "about me" page, so you were thrown a bone that likely will not be thrown again by anyone who checks you out.
kwqd, Whoops, you are correct; I didn't look at Thtagg's profile page.
Thtagg, I 'get it' that sorting through the inventory of an estate can be tedious and stressful, so imma throw you another bone.
You obviously have the technology to take soft copy pictures. Google Lens will not only help you identify items using those pictures, it'll give you an idea of value, although you will need to focus on similar items that have been sold, as opposed to items that are still for sale. Vendors can and do ask for the moon.
Can using Google Lens to sort through the inventory of an estate still be tedious and stressful?
Probably, however, it's much better than trying to identify everything without Google Lens, which is the way I personally did it before Google Lens was available. };-)
