    Just wondering if anyone recognizes where these could have come from. I want to say middle-Eastern/Turkey or something like that. Its got to be at least a hundred years old, perhaps more. I'm thinking the top to something? Its deffinitely sterling, which is what I bought it for, but now I'm curious to know where it came from, and more importantly, what on earth it IS?

      Looks like it has markings - first picture just below the rim !!
      Any chance of a close up !! Does look Egyptian , could be venitian too looking at the boat !! Could be a drug pot !!
