    Theres no markings or inscriptions on the underside. Pretty much what you see is what you get.

    I'd call it "embossed silver decorative canteen" for whatever that's worth.

    Certainly some kind of flask. It looks perhaps Turkish or maybe Georgian: I think that's St George slaying the dragon. He was Cappadocian. So, your Macedonian origin makes sense.
