It would be interesting to know what it was actually used for. I have researched the shape but have not been able to find a similar container. The back stamp is an oval without the date, which indicates it was produced between 1869 -1871, it also bears a BW impressed mark, which I assume are the artist initials but cannot attribute any known artist to them. The symbol was intriguing and I have managed to identify it as the merchant mark of: John Halle of Salisbury – Merchant of the Staple 1461. Has anyone any knowledge of why this symbol was used and its connection? The container is 9 ½” tall and the width including the spouts is 7 ½”.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
