Featured Forbes Silverplate --what would this form be used for?

(Baker's, if you wind up answering this, sorry to make you work on your birthday...)

I've got the maker, and realize it is silverplate. Any idea what to call this form? Base is heavy--feels weighted, or for some extra function.

I realize I didn't get a good photo of this, but the bowl like shape extends underneath. You can kind of see it in the first photo.

Thanks.

 

Flower arranger.

 

Oh! Would not have guessed that. Makes sense! Thank you!

 

Potpourri?

 

Here is the exact one on pinterest, calling the pattern "Berkeley".

Would work perfectly for potpourri as well.

 

I had one of those about 2 years ago or so, along with the matching candlesticks. It went out the door fast. With the sticks it sold for $65.00 in March 2017. But mine was marked Wm Rogers and it didn't have the gold wash on the inside of the bowl. Hope that helps some.

 

Gorgeous, Pam!
