Does anybody know what this is?

Hello, this looks like a vase to me but it has a hole in the side? The other question I have is what do the number and letters on the bottom mean? It is a little more than 4.3" tall (11cm) 5 cm wide base and weights 116 grams. I would appreciate any help that you may provide. Thank you.

Hi RJ! Are you having trouble with the pictures?

 

Ah gee's, I forgot my pictures. I am sorry about that.

 

Happens to the best of us from time to time!

Would you be so kind as to go back to your post and edit so you can select Full Image for the 3 pictures, please?

 

I was able to do it! I Hope

 

Since there are neither British sterling marks nor the word sterling, it's likely silver plated, but I could not find an exact match under silverplate on either 925-1000 or silvercollection. The use of shields for the the 3 letters inclines me to think UK, rather than US.

In addition to the hole in the side, there are also those 2 triangular holes underneath, so it was probably one part of a larger thing. Perhaps an epergne?

 

Thank you.I will have to look up what epergne means?

 

Here's a thread about one.

'George Shadford Lee and Henry Wigfull' ?

If it is (and I'm not saying it isn't, anything is possible in UK electroplate) no one has documented this particular mark.
