Welcome, jade12! I would suggest that you start a new thread about this object in the Metalware section under Antique Discussions. I have no clue, but the best way to get the right eyes on this is to post it there. Good luck!
My ol' man says yes, ink container. https://www.bing.com/images/search?...B7B0A7108F339040A96A3C1F5BE6BAB60&FORM=IQFRBA
With out knowing the size, it looks like a cocktail shaker to me. A traveling ink container. Learn something new everyday.
