    What size is it? What does the interior look like?
    My knee-jerk reaction is that it held some sort of glass vessel, like for flowers.

    ZI and ZII usually indicate that an item was imported and assayed to be sold in the Netherlands.
    ZI indicates a fineness of .925 or higher.

    You occasionally see the Z marks on antique Dutch silver that re-entered the retail market.
